% Here is a function which writes a footnote without
% a mark in either the main text or the footnote.
% Some journals (eg Linguistic Inquiry) put acknowledgements
% in an unnumbered first footnote. With this function
% you can put them there.
%
% I put the function in a style file in a standard
% place for easy access and use.

%
% This style file defines the command \nnfoottext
% which allows the user to at any time insert footnote
% text material without adding a footnote number
% to either the main page or the note.
%
% Sample Use:
%
% .....
% \begin{document}
% .....
% \nnfoottext{This is a witty and interesting
% numberless footnote. Thank-you.}
% .....
% \end{document}
%
% This was originally developed for the acknowledgement
% notes similar to the style used by the journal
% Linguistic Inquiry. The code was adapted from the latex
% source.
