  Hadron multiplicities --- especially for strange particles --- are calculated
in the framework of the algebraic coalescence rehadronization model (ALCOR),
which counts for redistribution of quarks into hadrons for relativistic
heavy-ion collisions. The influence of Bjorken flow on the final hadronic
composition are incorporated in the model. A comparison is made with the CERN
SPS NA35 $S+S$ and $p+p$ experiments. The analysis of these experiments with
ALCOR shows a strangeness enhancement for S+S collisions and a possible
formation of a sort of semi-deconfined state of the matter. Predictions for
Pb+Pb collisions (NA49) are also presented.
