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.

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. + + + + +License: + +This class file is Licensed under the Perl Artistic License which is +reproduced below: + +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.
