rick@seisvx.SINet.slb.com,
 
The command you're looking for is \footnotetext. This should produce the
footnote text without the mark. You can embed ${}^{*}$'s in the
inline text and at the start of the footnote to get the asterisk.
 
I found this quickly in Bill Cheswick's Permuted Index. If you want a
copy, e-mail me, and I'll send you the particulars, or email
ches@research.att.com
for info. This is a free pub of AT&T, and no TeX nor LaTeX shop should
be without copies!
