One can install them +in a local TEXMF tree on a unix home dir or Windoze mikTeX +installation, or must be in a path searchable by LaTeX. + +EXTRACTING +---------- + +To obtain the nddiss2e class file, process the 'nddiss2e.ins' +through LaTeX. + $ latex nddiss2e.ins + +This will create 2 files - nddiss2e.cls (the classfile) and +template.tex (a template file) + +To obtain the documentation for the nddiss2e class, use the +following commands: + $ latex nddiss2e.dtx + $ latex nddiss2e.dtx + $ makeindex -s gglo.ist -o nddiss2e.gls nddiss2e.glo + $ makeindex -s gglo.ist -o nddiss2e.ind nddiss2e.idx + $ latex nddiss2e.dtx + +This will create a dvi file (nddiss2e.dvi) which is the +documentation for the nddiss2e classfile. If you've pdfTeX +installed as well, you can now use the following command to +generate a pdf documentation. + $ pdflatex nddiss2e.dtx + +Alternatively, one can use the included `process.sh' shell script +to carry out all the above steps. + $ sh process.sh + + +TEXMF TREE +---------- + +As mentioned earlier, it is possible to install this class in a +local TEXMF tree. For eg. in a unix environment, it can be +installed in ~/texmf/tex/latex/nddiss2e/. The file nddiss2e.bst +can be installed in ~/texmf/bibtex/bst/base/. Make sure to run +`cd ~/texmf; mktexlsr' as well to generate index of the local +TEXMF tree. + +Similarly, other classes and packages can be also installed in +the local TEXMF tree. + +EXAMPLE THESIS +-------------- + +The subdirectory `example' contains a sample thesis for the +purpose of demonstrating the usage and output of the various +parameters. The files are the same as in the +sample_ndthesis.tar.gz distribution by Jeff Squyeres and D. A. +Peterson, but modified for the nddiss2e class. + +Thanks to D. A. Peterson and others. |
