%>What I want if for the author's names to be superscripted with numerals, and
%>for the identifying material to appear at the bottom of the page.  What happens
%>is that symbols are superscripted on the author's names, and nothing appears
%>at the bottom of the page.
%
%when you use the command which is intended for this the text will appear
%at the bottom of the page. there's an extra "\thanks" for that which is
%interpreted by LaTeX like you want. use in addition to that the following
%short modification of article.sty and you'll also get the numerals.
