+Installing the ucdavisthesis class from a .dtx file
+
+Many LaTeX packages are supplied as a .dtx file, possibly with a .ins
+file. This is a literate programming format. To get the materials that
+LaTeX needs, such as the .cls file, you should run LaTeX on these.
+
+First, run LaTeX on ucdavisthesis.ins.  If you are using a terminal,
+you can type at the command prompt: latex ucdavisthesis.ins (or
+pdflatex ucdavisthesis.ins).  If you are using a front-end like WinEdt, 
+load/open ucdavisthesis.ins and click on whatever button you use to 
+LaTeX your documents (don't use TeXify).  This will create the files
+containing the package code; ucdavisthesis.cls, ucdthesis10.clo, 
+ucdthesis11.clo, ucdthesis12.clo, ucdthesis13.clo. If the .ins file 
+doesn't succeed in moving the files to the correct location, they will 
+need to be put in an appropriate directory such as 
+\Local TeX Files\tex\latex\ucdavisthesis
+or whatever you use for a local tex directory.
+
+Finally, if you did not download the documentation (ucdavisthesis.pdf),
+you can produce the package documentation by running LaTeX on the 
+ucdavisthesis.dtx file. As above, at a terminal you would enter 
+latex ucdavisthesis.dtx (or pdflatex ucdavisthesis.dtx), while from 
+a front-end you would load/open ucdavisthesis.dtx and click on the
+appropriate button.  This will create ucdavisthesis.dvi (or 
+ucdavisthesis.pdf). Note, it is tricky to create correctly formatted
+cross references (index) in the documentation, so I recommend that you
+just use the precompiled version.
+
+Please see http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=install-unpack
+for more installation help.
