+\title{Userguide to autoview.el}
+\author{Deepak Goel\footnote{deego@glue.umd.edu}}
+\maketitle
+
+\section{Intro}
+
+Autoview and associated files are available from ([ebf]html
+http://www.glue.umd.edu/\symbol{126}deego/emacspub/autoview[eef]). This
+userguide is available from ([ebf]html
+http://www.glue.umd.edu/\symbol{126}deego/emacspub/autoview/usrguide/usrguide.html[eef]).
+
+While you are editing your file.tex, autoview will (run in a separate
+emacs and) continually, intelligently, and automatically keep
+processing your latex file, generate a .ps file and gv (view) the file
+for you.. You can modify it to suit your needs..
+
+\section{Customizing it}
+Edit autoview and (setq) the *directory* and *file* to whatever file
+you are editing nowadays. NOTE: *file* is the *file* without the
+extension. If you like, {\bf setq} the view-command and shell-command
+to what you want. Else they will be {\bf {\it bind}}-ed to their
+default values based on the *file* and *directory* you provide.
+
+IF you have any problems, please feel free to contact the author.
+
+
+Autoview processes the file only if it finds that the file has been
+updated (saved!) since it was last processed. It checks for the file
+every *repeattime* seconds. Other minor options are not worth going
+into.
+
+
+I would appreciate feedback. If you find at any place that a
+particular choice should have been made available to the user,
+please let me know... Your contributions are most welcome.
+
+\section{Running it}
+Please either:
+\begin{itemize}
+
+\item{download runauto.r from the autoview homepage, and add this to
+your .aliases:
+\begin{verbatim}
+alias elatstart 'source ~/runauto.r'
+\end{verbatim}
+}
+\item{
+or add this to your .aliases or .login (assumes tcsh)
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+alias elatstart ' /usr/local/bin/emacs20 -i -q \\
+-l ~/emacs/emacspub/autoview.el -title ELAT -fn 6x13 -geometry \\
+90x35+1400+1000 -bg LightGreen -f elatstart &'
+\end{verbatim}
+Then, typing elatstart will run autoview for you.
+
+Please don't forget to change the names of the directories to the ones
+on your local system.
+
+{\bf {\large PLEASE edit autoview.el and find where I load *my* profile. You probably
+ don't want that. Change that to (load "generalprofile.el"). And don't
+ forget to download this generalprofile.el as well. }}
+
+ }
+\end{itemize}
+
+\section{Other features}
+Oh, did I mention that the processing is a bit smart in another
+way. If an error occurs, it stops execution there, and tries to take
+you to where the error occurred. Latex does not output any unique
+error-string, so it tries to detect several strings: ``Undefined
+symbol'', ``Error'' etc.
