+LaTeX2e .cls file to provide formatting as recommended by the

-Potential users need to read the information from the Academy, and

-`good enough' to produce a fair copy for the Nicholl Fellowships
-Competition - if you do your part - which was the point of it (weeks ago
-when I started!). Whether ScriptTeX would, in fact, be a better solution
-if I managed to get my head around it is another question. It looks to

-may be better though (but then again, is that the UNIX way?).
