+Adfathesis
+
+This class modifies the standard report class to meet the requirements
+of the Australian Defence Force Academy (a college of the University
+of New South Wales) as given in the `University College Handbook'.
+This class is ultimately derived from the old suthesis style.
+
+The main changes in this class are firstly to use space and a half
+interline spacing, except in footnote, figure and table environments
+where normal spacing is used. Secondly the chapter and section
+headings are changed to be less `shouting' than the standard LaTeX
+designs. Thirdly less profligate use was made of vertical spacing.
+There is more information in a short document appended to the end of
+adfathesis.cls (I have not progressed to using a .dtx).
+
+Since two sided theses are now accepted for theses, I used the
+adfathesis class with the following options:
+
+\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,openright,twoside]{adfathesis}
+
+As supplied adfathesis automatically uses the Harvard package and the
+supplied `adfathesis.bst' is designed to work with the Harvard
+package. If you wish to use a different bst, such as `plain.bst',
+this will not be appropriate. There is a class option `normalbib'
+which stops the automatic use of the Harvard package, and hence allows
+use of either the standard LaTeX bibliography style or an alternative
+package.
+
+Version 2.3
+
+Changes: \cleardoublepage modified to ensure that blank pages use the
+empty pagestyle (from the fancyhdr documentation). Changes to default
+penalty values affecting widows/orphans, following suggestions in a
+post by Michael Downs on comp.text.tex. The table and table*
+environments are defined to automatically swap the settings for
+abovecaptionskip and belowcaptionskip, so table captions have the
+correct spacing when above the table.
+
+Version 2.4
+
+Changes: added an option `honours' that changes the titlepage to one
+more appropriate to a Honours report. For this option you should set
+\degreetype in the preamble to the appropriate faculty, it defaults to
+`Science'. Improved vertical spacing around chapter headings.
+
+The files supplied are as follows:
+
+ adfathesis.bst
+ adfathesis.cls
+ adfathesis.sty
+ 00readme.txt
+ template.tex
+
+Version 2.5
+
+Changes: modified to use docstrip. No other changes were made.
