+University of Wisconsin-Madison Thesis LaTeX Class
+
+by Eric Benedict, 2000, 2002
+
+This provides a class file which produces thesis, prelims,
+dissertations and project reports which should meet the
+requirements of the graduate school at UW-Madison. In addition
+to the class file, an example thesis is included which provides
+a brief introduction to LaTeX and the usage of the style class
+in particular. The usage is explained both by example through
+the source of the example thesis as well as in the typeset result
+of the example thesis.
+
+If you are new to LaTeX, I suggest making two copies of the example
+files. Leave one as a reference and edit the other by removing the
+example text and replacing it with your own text. This will make
+learning LaTeX and producing your thesis occur relatively quickly
+(at least it did for me. I learned LaTeX and wrote my MS thesis
+in a couple of weeks doing this way).
+
+If you already know LaTeX, but want to learn more; this class file
+is relatively heavily commented and could serve as a basis for learing
+to write your own class files.
+
+Instructions for using:
+ 1) Unpack the zip archive. Done! (or you likely wouldn't be reading this!)
+ 2) run latex on main.tex
+ UNIX/Linux: $ latex main <return>
+ Windows: depends on set up. Likely: load main.tex and click LaTeX button
+ (assumes WinEdt/MikTex)
+ 3) run bibtex to generate bibliography info:
+ UNIX/Linux: $ bibtex main <return>
+ Windows: depends on set up. Likely: click BibTeX button.
+ 4) run latex two more times (see above)
+ 5) view dvi output
+ UNIX/Linux: $ xdvi main & (the '&' places the viewer in the background)
+ Windows: depends on set up. Likely: click the viewer button.
+ 6) printing
+ UNIX/Linux: $ dvips main (straight to printer)
+ $ dvips -o main.ps main (to file main.ps)
+ Windows: depends on setup...
+
+
+Good Luck!
+
+Eric

+Acknowledgements:
+The {\tt withesis} style file is based on the Purdue thesis file
+written by Dave Kraynie and edited by Darrell McCauley. Additional
+environments came from a thesis class file provided by the UW Math
+Department.
+
+The idea and basis for the documenting example came from a similar
+manual James Darrell McCauley and Scott Hucker in 1993 for the Purdue
+University thesis style file.
+
+The chapter on LaTeX essentials is an edited version of a document by
+Jon Warbrick.

+
+Preamble
+
+The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a Package
+may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some semblance of
+artistic control over the development of the package, while giving the users
+of the package the right to use and distribute the Package in a more-or-less
+customary fashion, plus the right to make reasonable modifications.
+
+Definitions
+
+ "Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the
+ Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files
+ created through textual modification.
+
+ "Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not
+ been modified, or has been modified in accordance with the
+ wishes of the Copyright Holder as specified below.
+
+ "Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or
+ copyrights for the package.
+
+ "You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing
+ this Package.
+
+ "Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the
+ basis of media cost, duplication charges, time of people
+ involved, and so on. (You will not be required to justify it to
+ the Copyright Holder, but only to the computing community
+ at large as a market that must bear the fee.)
+
+ "Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item
+ itself, though there may be fees involved in handling the
+ item. It also means that recipients of the item may
+ redistribute it under the same conditions they received it.
+
+ 1.You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of
+ the Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided
+ that you duplicate all of the original copyright notices and associated
+ disclaimers.
+
+ 2.You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications
+ derived from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A
+ Package modified in such a way shall still be considered the
+ Standard Version.
+
+ 3.You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way,
+ provided that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file
+ stating how and when you changed that file, and provided that you do
+ at least ONE of the following:
+
+ a.place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise
+ make them Freely Available, such as by posting said
+ modifications to Usenet or an equivalent medium, or placing
+ the modifications on a major archive site such as
+ uunet.uu.net, or by allowing the Copyright Holder to include
+ your modifications in the Standard Version of the Package.
+ b.use the modified Package only within your corporation or
+ organization.
+ c.rename any non-standard executables so the names do not
+ conflict with standard executables, which must also be
+ provided, and provide a separate manual page for each
+ non-standard executable that clearly documents how it
+ differs from the Standard Version.
+ d.make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright
+ Holder.
+
+ 4.You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or
+ executable form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
+
+ a.distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library
+ files, together with instructions (in the manual page or
+ equivalent) on where to get the Standard Version.
+ b.accompany the distribution with the machine-readable
+ source of the Package with your modifications.
+ c.give non-standard executables non-standard names, and
+ clearly document the differences in manual pages (or
+ equivalent), together with instructions on where to get the
+ Standard Version.
+ d.make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright
+ Holder.
+
+ 5.You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of this
+ Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this
+ Package. You may not charge a fee for this Package itself. However,
+ you may distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly
+ commercial) programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial)
+ software distribution provided that you do not advertise this Package
+ as a product of your own. You may embed this Package's interpreter
+ within an executable of yours (by linking); this shall be construed as
+ a mere form of aggregation, provided that the complete Standard
+ Version of the interpreter is so embedded.
+
+ 6.The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as
+ output from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall
+ under the copyright of this Package, but belong to whomever
+ generated them, and may be sold commercially, and may be
+ aggregated with this Package. If such scripts or library files are
+ aggregated with this Package via the so-called "undump" or
+ "unexec" methods of producing a binary executable image, then
+ distribution of such an image shall neither be construed as a
+ distribution of this Package nor shall it fall under the restrictions of
+ Paragraphs 3 and 4, provided that you do not represent such an
+ executable image as a Standard Version of this Package.
+
+ 7.C subroutines (or comparably compiled subroutines in other
+ languages) supplied by you and linked into this Package in order to
+ emulate subroutines and variables of the language defined by this
+ Package shall not be considered part of this Package, but are the
+ equivalent of input as in Paragraph 6, provided these subroutines do
+ not change the language in any way that would cause it to fail the
+ regression tests for the language.
+
+ 8.Aggregation of this Package with a commercial distribution is
+ always permitted provided that the use of this Package is embedded;
+ that is, when no overt attempt is made to make this Package's
+ interfaces visible to the end user of the commercial distribution.
+ Such use shall not be construed as a distribution of this Package.
+
+ 9.The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or
+ promote products derived from this software without specific prior
+ written permission.
+
+ 10.THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY
+ EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING,
+ WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
+ MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
+ PURPOSE.

+ The End
