\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.
