-OVERVIEW
---------
-
-This is a sample dissertation package for the University of Notre
-Dame, provided by the Graduate Student Union (GSU). This package also
-doubles as a sample Master's Thesis, since the styles are the same
-(except for a few words on the title page).
-
-This package is meant for graduate students of any discipline at Notre
-Dame, and has been tailored for the Solaris environment (2.6 or 7).
-It *should* work on just about any Unix flavor at Notre Dame, as long
-as you have access to AFS (where the central style file is kept).
-Aside from getting access to the OIT-maintained LaTeX and dvips
-executables, you should not need to do anything to your environment;
-the style file, "ndthesis", should just magically be found when you
-invoke LaTeX.
-
-The ndthesis LaTeX class file was originally developed by Don
-Peterson, a graduate student in the Physics department. Thanks for
-saving the rest of us much time and frustration! :-)
-
-Much effort has been put into coordinating with the Graduate School to
-ensure that both this sample package and the ndthesis class are
-completely up to spec with their formatting guidelines. If you have
-any problems with the Formatting Gods when you turn in your
-thesis/dissertation, *please* let us know so that we can make any
-corrections necessary. Thanks!
-

-*** Please be sure to read the LICENSE file. ***

-WARNING
--------
-
-Do *NOT* seek out and copy the ndthesis.cls file to your own local
-directory!! The ndthesis.cls file is deeply buried in a maze of
-directories with all the other default TeX styles and fonts. Leave it
-there. We periodically update the class file with minor changes,
-etc. -- you are best off using the centralized copy so that you are
-ensured to get the latest version of the class.
-
-If the Formatting Gods turn down your thesis, and you were using a
-local copy of ndthesis.cls, just erase it and recompile (using the
-centralized copy).
-
-If the Formatting Gods still turn your thesis down, and there appears
-to be a problem with the template, or if you find a mistake in this
-sample package, let us know, and we'll fix it.
-
-HOWEVER: The ***vast*** majority of cases of incorrect formatting are
-due to errors on the user's part, ***not*** because of problems with
-the ndthesis class. In other words, you can still create an
-incorrectly formatted thesis, even if you use the ndthesis class! You
-*must* follow the directions in the instructions for the ndthesis
-class; this example is *not* a substitute for the real ndthesis
-instructions.
-
-
-UNPACKING THE PACKAGE FILE
---------------------------
-
-To unpack the file, go to the directory where you downloaded the file
-and execute the following command:
-
- unix% gunzip -c sample_ndthesis.tar.gz | tar xvf -
-
-This will create a sub directory called "sample_ndthesis" with all the
-sample files in it.
-
-
-HOW TO USE THE NDTHESIS CLASS
------------------------------
-
-The ndthesis class file provide for several options, and there are
-several "variables" which you must fill in (your name, degree title,
-advisor's name, etc.). Rather than document that here, see the full
-documentation for the class (it's easy to read, don't worry). It's
-available from the GSU web site:
-
- http://www.gsu.nd.edu/Committees/ITC/ndthesis.pdf
- or
- http://www.gsu.nd.edu/Committees/ITC/ndthesis.ps
-
-This sample package includes concrete examples of most of what is
-discussed in the ndthesis documentation file.
-
-
-WHAT IS IN THIS SAMPLE DISSERTATION
------------------------------------
-
-If you type "make" in the sample_ndthesis directory, it will build
-"sample_ndthesis.ps", which you can view with your favorite postscript
-previewer. This is a full thesis, and includes examples of many of
-the types of things that usually appear in dissertations, such as
-tables, figures, table of contents, a bibliography, etc. You may wish
-to print this file out and use it as an example for acceptable
-formats.
-
-You can also type "make pdf" to make the file "sample_ndthesis.pdf",
-if you wish to make a PDF version of your dissertation.
-
-
-HOW TO USE THIS SAMPLE DISSERTATION
------------------------------------
-
-The goal of this sample is to provide you with a set of files from
-which you can simply delete the content and use as a template for your
-own thesis.
-
-That is, we hope to have done all the hard work for you; you just have
-to set a few switches (all clearly documented) and replace the text
-content with your own. Then, all you have to do is invoke "make",
-which should do the trick of creating your thesis postscript file.
-Hopefully, this will save a lot of headaches in trying to figure out
-the mysteries of LaTeX, make, etc.
-
-This sample is divided up into several files, all of which have
-helpful comments included:
-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-README - This file
-Makefile - This makefile is setup to build the sample
- dissertation postscript or PDF file. Just
- type "make" (or "make pdf" to build the PDF
- file).
-
-sample_ndthesis.tex - This is the "top-level" .tex file. It contains
- the settings for the title page, table of
- contents, list of tables/figures,
- acknowledgments, dedication, abstract,
- includes the two chapter .tex files, and the
- bibliography.
-chapter1.tex - The text for the first chapter.
-chapter2.tex - The text for the second chapter.
-appendix.tex - The text for the appendix.
-
-sample_ndthesis.bib - BibTeX entries for the bibliography.
-sample_ndthesis.eps - An encapsulated postscript figure that is
- used in the sample dissertation.
-sample_ndthesis.m - Short Matlab script to make the .eps figure.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-A NOTE ABOUT THE MAKEFILE
--------------------------
-
-The Makefile is heavily commented. To use this Makefile for your own
-thesis, you should really only need to change a few entries at the top
-of the file, all of which are clearly marked. There is also a clearly
-marked "You should not need to edit below this line" line; unless you
-understand LaTeX and the rules of "make", I would recommend against
-fiddling with things below there.
-
-Basically, you just need to enter the names of the .tex files (and any
-other files in your dissertation, such a figure files, .bib files,
-etc.) in your thesis, and make will ensure that when you edit any one
-of those files, the thesis will be rebuilt.
-
-The Makefile is "smart", in that it will re-run latex multiple times
-until all references have stopped changing. It will also run BibTeX,
-if necessary, to generate your bibliography.
-
-Basically, once you put in your filenames, you should just need to
-type "make", and when it is finished, your .ps file will be created.
-
-Here is a list of all the targets pre-programmed into the Makefile:
-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-ps (default) - Builds the sample_ndthesis.ps file
-pdf - Builds the sample_ndthesis.ps and
- sample_ndthesis.pdf files
-dvi - Builds the sample_ndthesis.dvi file
-clean - Removes various backup files created by text editors
-squeaky - Removes all the "extra" files that latex (et al.)
- create, and only leaves your source files (.tex,
- .bib, figures, etc.). This also removes your .ps
- and .pdf files.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-A NOTE ABOUT BIBLIOGRAPHIES
----------------------------
-
-Most departments allow for a single bibliography at the end of the
-paper. This is the way that the sample_ndthesis will be built.
-However, some departments want bibliographies at the end of each
-chapter. This sample can do that as well, but you must first perform
-a few steps:
-
-- In the beginning of sample_ndthesis.tex, uncomment the line
-\usepackage{chapterbib}.
-
-- At the end of sample_ndthesis.tex, comment out the following lines:
-
- \backmatter
-
- \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{BIBLIOGRAPHY}
- \bibliographstyle{plain}
- \bibliography{sample_ndthesis}
-
-- At the end of both chapter1.tex and chapter2.tex, uncomment the
-following lines:
-
- \bibliographstyle{plain}
- \bibliography{sample_ndthesis}
-
-- In the Makefile, fill in the top-level filenames for your chapters
-(chapter1.tex and chapter2.tex in this example) in the CHAP_CITE_TEX
-macros. Be sure that these files are *not* mentioned again in the
-OTHER_SRC_FILES macro, below.
-
-You are now setup to "make". Invoke "make", and you should have a .ps
-file with bibliographies at the end of each chapter.
