rs> Thank you for your upload. Before I install it, I have a question.
rs> 
rs> We (CTAN) are trying to move to including documentation for every package
rs> we install, preferably in PDF format, for easy perusal with a browser.
rs> That allows us to give the CTAN users more information when they search
rs> for a particular solution to their problem. Would you be willing to supply
rs> am example for using your BibTeX style file? Ideally, a CTAN user
rs> could just look at the pdf file and say: hey that's what I want!
rs> 
rs> In any case, I want to create a new directory
rs> 
rs>    biblio/bibtex/contrib/osa
rs> 
rs> and put osa.bst into it. If providing a PDF file is not feasible for you,
rs> I would appreciate a short README file to put put into the same CTAN
rs> directory.
