| 3 |  |  | This collection of files will  assist  LaTeX  users  in | 
| 4 |  |  | preparing  doctoral dissertations according to the for- | 
| 5 |  |  | matting requirements of the Graduate  School,  here  at | 
| 6 |  |  | the  University  of  Notre  Dame.   Working in the UNIX | 
| 7 |  |  | environment, type "make sample" to see a sample  thesis | 
| 8 |  |  | (be sure that "make" and "ghostview" are in your search | 
| 9 |  |  | path, which was true, for all  users,  at  Notre  Dame, | 
| 10 |  |  | when this was written). | 
| 11 |  |  |  | 
| 12 |  |  | thesis.tex: | 
| 13 |  |  | This file is intended to serve  a  thesis  template, | 
| 14 |  |  | edited  by  each  user.  The file "sample.tex" is an | 
| 15 |  |  | exact copy that can be left unedited,  as  a backup, | 
| 16 |  |  | for future reference. | 
| 17 |  |  |  | 
| 18 |  |  | sample.tex: | 
| 19 |  |  | see "thesis.tex" | 
| 20 |  |  |  | 
| 21 |  |  | thesis.bib: | 
| 22 |  |  | This  file  is  intended  to  provide  an   editable | 
| 23 |  |  | bibliography  template  for  the  "thesis.tex"  file | 
| 24 |  |  | above.  It shows  examples  of  all  common  biblio- | 
| 25 |  |  | graphic  entries.  The file "SAMPLE.BIB" is an exact | 
| 26 |  |  | copy that can be left unedited,  as  a  backup,  for | 
| 27 |  |  | future reference. | 
| 28 |  |  |  | 
| 29 |  |  | sample.bib: | 
| 30 |  |  | see "thesis.bib" | 
| 31 |  |  |  | 
| 32 |  |  | sample.eps: | 
| 33 |  |  | A sample graphic, imported by the  "thesis.tex"  and | 
| 34 |  |  | "sample.tex" files. | 
| 35 |  |  |  | 
| 36 |  |  | Makefile: | 
| 37 |  |  | This file contains instructions for  automatic  pro- | 
| 38 |  |  | cessing of "thesis.tex" and "thesis.bib" - just type | 
| 39 |  |  | "make" and all the required  steps  occur  automati- | 
| 40 |  |  | cally.   Alternatively, type "make sample" to view a | 
| 41 |  |  | sample thesis, instead.  Also, this  "makefile"  can | 
| 42 |  |  | generate "PDF" output - just type "make pdf" to gen- | 
| 43 |  |  | erate "PDF" output from the "thesis.tex" file.   The | 
| 44 |  |  | "emacs"  editor  will  complain of a suspicious line | 
| 45 |  |  | each time changes are saved - ignore the warning. | 
| 46 |  |  |  | 
| 47 |  |  | ndthesis.cls: | 
| 48 |  |  | This file defines all the required formating  for  a | 
| 49 |  |  | doctoral  dissertation  at  Notre Dame.  Invoke this | 
| 50 |  |  | file by  including  "\documentclass[]{ndthesis}"  as | 
| 51 |  |  | the first line of a LaTeX document. | 
| 52 |  |  |  | 
| 53 |  |  | ndthesis.dtx: | 
| 54 |  |  | To generate documentation  for  "ndthesis.cls"  type | 
| 55 |  |  | "latex   ndthesis.dtx"  followed  by  "makeindex  -s | 
| 56 |  |  | gglo.ist -o ndthesis.gls ndthesis.glo"  followed  by | 
| 57 |  |  | "latex  ndthesis.dtx"  again, repeating until cross- | 
| 58 |  |  | references are resolved (LaTeX stops complaining). | 
| 59 |  |  |  | 
| 60 |  |  | thesis.ins: | 
| 61 |  |  | To  make   new   versions   of   "ndthesis.cls   and | 
| 62 |  |  | template.tex"   type   "latex   ndthesis.ins"  which | 
| 63 |  |  | replaces existing versions of  these  files.   There | 
| 64 |  |  | should be no reason to do this. | 
| 65 |  |  |  | 
| 66 |  |  | thesis.bst: | 
| 67 |  |  | This defines an  "acceptable"  bibliography  format. | 
| 68 |  |  | To   generate   a   custom   format,   type   "latex | 
| 69 |  |  | makebst.tex" and enter "merlin.bst" as the  template | 
| 70 |  |  | file. | 
| 71 |  |  |  | 
| 72 |  |  | makebst.tex: | 
| 73 |  |  | see thesis.bst | 
| 74 |  |  |  | 
| 75 |  |  | merlin.mbs: | 
| 76 |  |  | see thesis.bst | 
| 77 |  |  |  | 
| 78 |  |  | All remaining files should never require editing. |
