[comp.text.tex] Qs: \cite or \labels in \footnote

sommer@BINAH.CC.BRANDEIS.EDU (12/22/90)

Well, it seems our newsrdr disk crashed ~a 5 days ago and now that it's
back up, it seems all of the archive is gone. I did receive mail with the
solution to my epsf*Y*size in epsf.sty problem -- there's a new version
with that modification built in. 

But, to repeat my as yet unanswered questions about footnote and cite:

Is there either a way to make a \cite{foo}-\bibitem{foo}{text} like
environment to make superscripted footnotemarks and bottom-of-page
footnotes while retaining the ability to reuse\cite{foo} the counter?

Or, is there a way to make a \footnote{text \label{foo} } like environment
in order to be able to reuse a footnoted citation as in $^{\ref{foo}}$ ?
(\label doesn't work in regular \footnote .)

If solutions were posted, could someone please either re-post or directly
e-mail to me at	sommer@brandeis.bitnet
		sommer@binah.cc.brandeis.edu ?

THANKS VERY MUCH!
