Supercite is available via anonymous ftp from durer.cme.nist.gov
[129.6.32.4] under pub/gnu/elisp/supercite-2.1.shar.0{1,2}

The most recent release of supercite is version 2.1.  Note that
version 2.0 is also on durer, but you *should not use this*. Its old
and just hasn't been removed yet.  Also for clarification, supercite
completely replaces superyank, which was my first attempt at a
citation package. If you're using superyank, you really should upgrade
to supercite-2.1.

In addition to VM (which I highly recommend), supercite will work with
GNUS 3.12+, RMAIL 18.55+, RNEWS, MH, GNEWS, PCMAIL, and perhaps
others. To interface between your reader and supercite, supercite
provides patches to elisp and overload functions for those who don't
want to patch distribution elisp. With version 2.1, linking supercite
to your favorite mail or news reader should be a snap.
