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 am a Ph.D student. I'm very much interested to develop my expertise in

    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.
