+\LaTeX\ is a special version of \TeX, a state-of-art command-driven document
+production system. \TeX\ was created by \mbox{Donald Knuth}, a professor in
+the Stanford University, and its domain is public, but \TeX\ logo is the
+trade mark of the American Mathematical Society, and \TeX\ AMSfonts belong to
+the same society. This also implies, which is indeed the fact, that \TeX\ is
+powerful at typesetting formulae, a headache of all typists.
+
+Leslie Lamport from DEC programmed a collection of macros in \TeX.
+These macros together with some things contributed by other authors make up a
+\TeX\ database package which is known as \LaTeX. \LaTeX\ is actually designed
+for those who want to typeset documents with the high typographic quality of
+\TeX\ but do not want to learn the sophisticated \TeX\ programming. For a
+non-computer-science graduate student or faculty member, who may need to
+typeset a paper, resume, thesis, book, manual or a letter with high quality and
+who does not mind learning a command-driven text formatter, \LaTeX\ is probably
+an ideal package. The \LaTeX\ had the major update from \LaTeX\ 2.09 to
+\LaTeXe\ in 1994.
+
+This sample \LaTeXe\ file will serve as a user guide to the \LaTeXe\ document
+class for theses at Univ. of Pittsburgh. As a modified version of Leslie
+Lamport's \texttt{sample2e.tex} file is included, this file will also serve to
+help beginners understand how some of the important \LaTeXe\ commands work.
