+Subject: seminar.cls
+
+I recently retrieved seminar.cls from twx.ac.uk, having observed that
+it had been updated. The version there, seems to have an extraneous }
+in it, causing error messages from LaTeX. As far as I recall this was
+immediately before the % end change of DPC 1997/09/16
+
+The version info is
+ %% BEGIN seminar.cls
+ %% LaTeX2e seminar class, derived by Sebastian Rahtz from
+ %% `seminar.sty', generated on <1993/10/8>. Fixes from David Carlisle
+ %% and Denis Girou.
+ %%
+ %\def\fileversion{1.0}
+ %\def\filedate{1993/04/01}
+ \def\fileversion{1.2}
+ \def\filedate{1997/09/16}
+ %%
+
+I had also supposed that it might have been modified to conform to its
+documentation, which states that a4 or a4paper is acceptable in the
+\documentclass optional argument. In fact, only a4 is acceptable,
+a4paper causing an error.

+ I don't know about commercial versions for Irix. However, you can
+just install the fw_tex package from the Irix 6.2 "Freeware 2.0" CD. This
+includes TeX, LaTeX, documentation, binaries, etc. so you're pretty much set
+to go.
+
+ I'm no TeXpert, but I am successfully using this LaTeX to build the
+OpenGL API specification - a 350 page document of complexity comparable to
+the typical Ph.D. thesis. Hopefully it will do the job for you too.
