Though I tried to +conform to the general requirements set by the University of Pittsburgh, +the detail requirements of thesis styles may vary among Pitt schools +and so you may need to modify this package according to your needs. + +INSTALLATION +------------ +Move the files ``pitthesis.cls'' and ``pitt*.clo'' to a TeX +input directory. + +For an Engineering thesis, you need 'cite' package as well, which is +available from a CTAN site. +(ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/cite/) + +DOCUMENT +-------- +Sample document files are in a subdirectory, ``sample'', which +contains 8 .tex files, and the file ``main.tex'' is the master +file that will include other .tex files when compiling. +Please run latex in sample/ dir by + + latex main + +You need to run it two or three times to get correct references +and table of contents. You need dvips (dvi-to-ps converter) or +an equivalent to convert .dvi file to .ps (postscript) file as a +.eps graphics file is included in the sample file. However, +you can still view/print the .dvi file except the graphics. + +Read the sample document as it illustrates the usage of the +pitthesis class (in the first part) and the set of sample files +provide a good example of writing a thesis using pitthesis.cls. + +PROBLEMS: +--------- +If you don't have AMS latex/font packages installed in your system, +you lose some symbols in Appendix (appendix.tex file) of the sample +document. (I would recommend that you get AMS latex/font packages +if you write many mathematical formulas.) + +You may simply ignore the following latex warning: + +LaTeX Warning: You have requested document class 'pitthesis', + but the document class provides 'cite'. + +It does not hurt anything, but just a warning. + +Bibliography numbers are enclosed in brackets, which I prefer to +parentheses. This format is acceptable by the School of Engineering, +and so I assume that it's true for all Pitt Schools. + +CHANGE HISTORY: +--------------- +v1.2 September 23, 1999 + - bug fixed: line spacing problem + - added line spacing class option (single,onehalf,double) + - changed \committeesignature to {committeesignature} environment + - updated sample document + +v1.1 August 22, 1999 + - major update -- now loads report.cls + +Any comments are welcome. + +-- +Wonkoo Kim <wkim@bellatlantic.net>, <wkim+@pitt.edu> |
