+* SUG authors
+
+LaTeX is a set of macros for the TeX document processing application.
+
+Several years ago I began using LaTeX to write my SUG papers.
+In order to produce a paper which conforms
+to SAS User Group International conference paper guidelines
+it is necessary to modify the LaTeX document class article.
+
+After reviewing several other LaTeX class files: e.g.: acmconf.cls,
+I wrote my own SUGconf.cls and posted it to SAS-L.
+http://www.listserv.uga.edu/cgi-bin/wa?S1=sas-l
+
+The layout produced by the 'sugconf' class
+is based on the description contained in SUGI paper guidelines,
+published by SAS Institute: (2006)
+http://support.sas.com/usergroups/sugi/sugi31/package/WritersGuidelines.pdf
+
+At the 2006 PracTeX conference, a Little Birdie
+(SAS-L euphemism for a SAS Institute employee)
+suggested that it would be a Good Idea to post my class file
+and some examples to CTAN,
+by which act I would then accept responsibility for maintenance.
+
+
+* All SUG conferences now require submission of papers as a .pdf.
+TeX distributions provide pdfLaTeX.exe which produces a .pdf
+from the source text file. (.tex or .ltx or .txt).
+The .pdf can be read with Adobe Reader v5 or greater.
+Note: pdfLaTeX also produces a .dvi, which is easier to review
+while editing and polishing.
+See the command: \pdfoutput= in each .tex file.
+
+* filename extensions
+
+** .bat: windows batch file
+ executes pdfLaTeX, input : <filename>.tex
+ note: input may be <filename>.txt
+ pdfoutput=0: <filename>.dvi
+ pdfoutput=1: <filename>.pdf
+** .tex: input : text file containing LaTeX markup commands
+** .pdf: output: Adobe v5 or higher
+
+* Please review the following files
+in order to familiarize yourself with LaTeX markup commands.
+
+** article-example illustrates the LaTeX document class article
+article-example.bat
+article-example.tex
+article-example.pdf
+
+** this file provides the LaTeX document class sugconf based on article
+ you must download this file and place it in the same folder
+ with your SUG-conf-paper
+
+sugconf.cls
+
+** sugconf-example is a working example of the document class sugconf
+ download these files and rename them to <My-SUG-conf-paper>.*
+ note: remember to change the filename in the .bat file
+ from sugconf-example
+ to <My-SUG-conf-paper>
+
+sugconf-example.bat
+sugconf-example.pdf
+sugconf-example.tex
+
+* processing your .tex file with a Windows .bat file
+- - - - article-example.bat - - -
+pdfLaTeX article-example
+- - - - article-example.bat end - - -
+
+note assumption: filename extension is .tex
+to process a text file other than .tex, specify the extension:
+pdfLaTeX article-example.txt
+
+* highly recommended
+I recommend a professional text editor.
