+Notre Dame's Dissertation document class by Sameer Vijay
+that adheres to the University of Notre Dame guidelines
+published in Spring 2004.
+
+Please send any improvements/suggestions to :
+ Shari Hill, Graduate Reviewer.

+
+==============================================================
+
+This is a dissertation class file for the University of Notre
+Dame, provided by Sameer Vijay and also can be used for
+formatting any thesis as well.
+
+This classfile can possibly be used by students with their
+own TeX installation and as such does not need to be
+installed in a central file location. 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.
