\maketitle 
\paragraph{Abstract.}  The package \texttt{procIAGssymp.sty} has  
been designed to help the  formatting of a paper with the style 
of the proceedings of symposia sponsored by the 
"International Association of Geodesy (IAG)".
This  paper itself is an example of the use of the package. It 
contains instructions and suggestions for the use of the package, 
while most of the comment included in \texttt{procIAGssymp.sty} 
are of a more technical nature.
\paragraph{WARNING:}
I have not recently checked the instruction from 
the publisher of the proceedings of IAG-sponsored-symposia. 
I presume that "official" more refined and 
up-to-date "sty" and "cls" files 
are now available from the publisher.
This package is therefore not as useful 
as it was at the time of it's first publication, 
but it is pehaps still conveniet for some user.

\section{Introduction}
The package \texttt{procIAGssymp.sty} provides some (re-)definitions 
of \LaTeX commands.  The use of the package is explained in this text.
\par\noindent I have tried to provide a package that helps in 
the preparation of a paper that corresponds to the instructions 
distributed by the publisher of the proceedings of 
IAG-sponsored-symposia, but please read the subsection 
\textbf{Important notes} below.
\par\noindent The curious readers are 
invited to look directly at the source of this file and, more 
important, to the  code in the file \texttt{procIAGssymp.sty}. 
\section{Suggestions for the user}
\subsection{General page lay-out}
The general lay-out of the pages is controlled by some assignment 
made by \texttt{procIAGssymp.sty} AND by the use of the class 
\texttt{article} that must be loaded with the proper options, i.e. 
\verb+[a4paper,twocolumn,10pt]+ .
\subsection{Top-matter}
The title and the author(s) must be prepared with 
\verb+\title{ . . .}+  and \verb+\author{ . . .}+ and they will be 
printed by \verb+\maketitle+.  The use of \verb+\thanks{. . .}+ inside 
the argument of \verb+\title{ . . .}+ is not appropriate because this 
command has been redefined.
If there are several authors, their 
names must be separated by \verb+\and+. The authors that share the 
same address must be listed consecutively and must be followed by 
\verb+\thanks{. . .}+ (with the address as argument). To see an example 
you can see the code of this file. 
\subsection{Sectioning}
The use of \verb+\section{. . . }+  and \verb+\subsection{. . . }+
can be done as in any \LaTeX paper. 
These commands have been redefined so that they 
produce the first level and second level headers in the proper format. 
All the other sectioning commands have been redefined with a coherent 
style. 
The command \verb+\section*{References}+ can be used to start  
the reference list. One of the following sections is just a test of 
the various sectioning commands.
\section{Test of sectioning (1st level)} 
\subsection{Test of sectioning (2nd level)} 
\subsubsection{Test of sectioning (3rd level)} 
This is just an example of the use and abuse 
of \verb+\section+, \verb+\subsection+ and
\verb+\subsubsection+. We can also test \verb+\paragraph+ and 
\verb+\subparagraph+.
\paragraph{Paragraph} This is a paragraph, headed by \verb+\paragraph+.
\subparagraph{Subparagraph} This is a  sub paragraph. And the section 
end HERE. 
\section{Technicalities}
\subsection{About the format of the top-matter}
The main structure of the topmatter is governed by \verb+\@maketitle+ 
which is properly redefined.  \par\noindent
The command \verb+\thanks+ has been 
redefined to print the authors' address immediately after the 
authors' names. The  new form of this command makes it unsuitable 
to put a note to the title.
\subsection{Compatibility}
The package has been used together with the \texttt{article} class 
and with several packages including:  
\texttt{makeidx}, \texttt{amsmath}, 
\texttt{amssymb}, \texttt{apalike}, \texttt{array}, 
\texttt{epsfig}, \texttt{graphicx} and \texttt{verbatim}.
I have not found any compatibility problem.
