if you do not quit your netscape before you log out, it won't delete the 
lock file, and it will still be there the next time you log in and netscape
will get confused and think another netscape is still runnign somewhere else.

no.  First, you run latex2e on main.tex not main.dvi
Second, you shouldn't just try everything possible and hope it eventually works 
(even though it might).
You should look in each directory (cd directoryname), look at which files are there
(ls), determine which files you want to keep (there may be multiple versions of the
same file modified at different times), and then put them all in one directory (use
cp filename ~/directoryname/ to copy a file).  Then change into that directory
and latex2e main.tex

asks you a question after you're done editing the message, and that

Yeah.... Just replace each tab with an ampersand, and tack a \\ on the end

The essential walkthrough:
1) Select the table. Select the mnu option Table/Convert Table to Text.
   Select the option "Tabs"
2) Select the menu option Edit/Rplace. Tell it to change all occurances of
   "^t" to " & " (without quotes)
3) Now tell it to change "^p" to "\\^p"

Also, just for safety, you might want step 1.5:
1.5) Change "&" to "\&". Change "\" to "\backslash".

Well, first of all, unless there's a really compelling reason not to,
you should have "Motor Behavior" as a caption and remove the center env.
(a compelling reason is if you have several tabulars in a single table

From: The angels weep for you when you use the Equation Editor. <wild_dj>

I'm fairly late on this one, but to print a specific
page range, you pass the -p and -l options to dvips.
dvips -p  3 -l 6 would print pages 3 to 6. Note
that the "page numbered n" and the "nth page" are not the same;
for instance, your cover page has no number, but is the 1st page.
To specify the "nth page" trather than the page numbered n,
use the code =n. For instance,
dvips -p 3 -l =5 filename.dvi would print starting at
the page numbered 3 and end at the 5th page (probably the
page numbered 4, since numbering starts after the cover)

By default printers shouldn't duplex. There are several

is set to "homer2" instead of "homer" (or similarly
with pindar). 2) You've got dvips and/or lpr

either of these commands show up in the list. 3) Athena

then you're all set.  Just type 'save-buffers-kill-emacs' and hit

we made several files that you can just run latex2e main.tex and it will produce
an example paper.  These files constitute a template, because you can just copy
them an instantaniously have someone else's paper.  If you then modify the 
content of these files (replace their title with your title, their abstract
with your abstract, etc.), then you'll have a paper.

Some of us need sleep, so I leave with two parting thoughts:
1) Merge the captions on ll. 43-44. Two captions are uncool.
2) If all else fails, delete your .aux files and try again. It usually
happens with tables, not figures, but sometimes the .aux files get all
freaky and keep anything else from working right. After you do that, you'll
need to latex twice to re-establish references.

If you want to use true Photoshop, MIT also has the New Media Center:
a cluster of Macintoshes intended for graphic design, image editing,
3d work, videoediting and animation, multimedia, etc. It is normally
located on the first floor of building 26, but I believe they moved it
to N42 for the summer (N42 is the IS building on Mass. Ave., a bit
north of main campus and a bit south of Random Hall, on the same side
of the street as main campus). They also have PageMaker, pretty much
all of the other Adobe graphics programs, a nice scanner, and other
toys.

They recommend that you set up an appointment. You need to bring your
own Zip disk, CD-R, Jaz disk or other media (all the computers have
Zip drives; I know Jaz and CD-R are available as well, but I don't
recall how many).
             
In the professional community, Photoshop is a bit better than Gimp for
anything that goes on paper, but I don't know if we have anyone with
enough expertise to make any use of it's prepress capabilities. For
less knowledgeable users, Photoshop would be a bit more user friendly
than Gimp, but otherwise it shouldn't be a big difference.
             
More details are at: http://web.mit.edu/nmc/
             
By the way, if the folks designing the summer book need more manpower,
I'd be glad to help. I used to be a pretty competent graphic designer,
but I haven't done anything in the past 2 years, so it remains to be
seen if I still remember anything.

the program every time I execute the program, the random numbers generated

You could try '\0' instead of '\n'
although I'm not positive,
or if you do the whatever getchar function to
get the char, '\n' should work.

#include <stdio.h>

MyChar = getchar();

Um.  You'd generally not futz with it?  Consider the fact that if you change

Thus unless the text is the final draft, trying to change float
placement is a waste of your time.

g++ -o executable-name test.cpp  (that will compile it)

you can call the executable anything you want, of course.

Nothing's wrong with the concept of using color slides. The problem is that
color slides fall into two categories 99% of the time:
- People with no artistic capability use lots of conflicting colors, and it 
  looks amateurish and ugly
- People use PowerPoint or a similar program in a poor attempt to look 
  "professional," and this also almost always turns out poorly.

Color can be useful in a few cases (for instance, to make it clear which line
is which in a graph), but in general, it tends to be misused.

Pardon if this was already answered. I accidentally lost a few zephyrs. 
iomanip.h includes IO Manipulators. IO Manipulators are things you can send
to IO streams to perform different actions. They setw, hex, etc, and let
you do things like:

cout << 1234 << ' ' << hex << ' ' << 1234 << setw(4) << setfill('#') << '('
     << 12 << ")\n";

The hex, setw, and setfill in the above are IO manipulators. 

iomanip is definitely required for most of the manipulators that take parameters.
It is not required for some of the ones that don't. I don't recall specifically
which it is and isn't required for.

Well, if you make windows think you have a postscript printer (by adding
a printer the normal way and picking it to be say an HP Laserjet 4
PS), then you can go to the normal print dialog and select the pring
er, print, to file option.  When you print, it'll send the stuff
it would have sent to the printer (ie PostScript) to the file
instead.

I think so.  Do you have a way of moving it to athena right now?
If you do, you could check whether it's actually valid
PostScript.

tabular defines the actual table.  'table' defines a box around the table
and includes the table itself, a caption, if any, labels, maybe a \begin{center}
and \end{center}

moer importantly, a 'table' can be moved around on the page....

so do:

\begin{table}
\begin{tabular}......

How much do you know about ftp? You use essentially five commands:
get, put, cd, bin, and asc. The first two retrieve and send files, the
second navigates (in the same way cd works on athena), and
bin and asc change tranfer modes between binary and text.

You should avoid using an em dash as punctuation, inasmuch as it's

well, first of all, it looks bad without scaling.
you should recreate it from a higher resolution image,
or maybe generate postscript directly from whatever drew the graph.
the postscript you have now is at too low a resolution, and
that's why it looks bad

Um.  You'd normally just have the algorithm and then point it to the table
with \ref.

Your big problem is that the table in question will not fit on a page.  Unless
someone things of a better idea, you'll have to make it a longtable.  And then
this won't be an issue anyway b/c it won't float.

No.  You have to gunzip them to use them in LaTeX...if you need to use them
all, you could try
(1) see if you have any core files
(2) purge
(3) get rid of old ps files of your paper
(4) get rid of .tex~ files

Okay, try this.  Put the tabular environment inside a minipage:
\begin{minipage}
\begin{tabular}
...
\end{tabular}
\end{minipage}
Now, where you had the footnote, put in a \footnotemark.  After the
\end{minipage}, put in a \footnotetext{text}.  I _think_ that should work...
Do you have only one footnote in the table?

Yes, use multicolumn.  For example, suppose you want something to take up
two columns:
and suppose you want it to have a line following the entry, and you want
it to be centered in the new cell.  then you'd use
foo & \multicolumn{2}{c|}{bar}& etc.

A lemma is a small result whose main purpose is that it's used in proving a
big theorem.  A proposition isn't as big a deal but is usually stated more for
its own worth than for its usefulness in proving a theorem...anyone want to

a proposition is a statement made which may not be proved

a lemma is a pre-theorem, usually of more substance than a proposition.

bubblecharts are among the more laughable ways you could represent that data.
You have a scatterplot, and represent the third var (in this case, it would be

The rule that I learned is that you spell out any nonnegative integer not

words.  Newspapers spell out only one through nine, though, and any measurement
should be in symbols.

They are treated as mathematical punctuation marks.  In the middle of a formula
this is okay, but don't say

        But the number $a,$ a most ill-behaved bastard, . . .

instead of

        But the number $a$, a most ill-behaved bastard, . . .

because the spacing will come out wrong.  It's much worse if you put the period
at the end of a sentence inside a formula preceding it, since there will be
less than half of the proper space after the period.  (Contrastingly, though,
you obviously put the comma or period inside a display that ends the clause
or sentence.)

Other than that, just don't save it as a PICT file--that's basically a

Damn Photoshop to hell . . . make Photoshop save it as EPS, then do the
following:

1.  Open the resulting file in Emacs and immediately type C-space to set the
    mark at the beginning of the file.

2.  Type C-s to start an interactive search.  Then type

         %!P

3.  This should have caused the cursor to move into a line starting with
    "%!PS-Adobe-" or some such tripe.  Hit Return to stop the search.

4.  Now back up the cursor so that it is highlighting the percent sign in %!P
    and then press C-w.  This will delete the header crap that Photoshop 
    puts on the front of its so-called EPS files.

5.  Save the file and quit.

Then your file will be legitimate EPS and can be used as normal.

heh.  no, not really.  epsf usually looks better because it is written
in terms of "draw this line, draw that shape" instead of a bunch of 
pixels (which gif uses).

it's possible that the .eps file is also using a bunch of pixels, too,
in which case it will look the same as .gif, but use more memory because
it's not compressed.

we're going to put several papers into a book to show off to people who
we want to give us money so we can keep doing RSI.  This involves reformatting
your papers to take up less space, things like two collumns, smaller type,
etc.  If you do weird formatting stuff we have to spend a good bit of
time trying to fix and and we end up deciding how it will look.  If you
format it normally you maintain some control over how it will look
and we don't waste our time undoing what you did.  Therefore, we're not
just being obnoxious, we have a good reason.  Don't fight LaTeX!

There is too little material on the offending line, and consequently the

That term is built into TeX, not LaTeX.  The badness is approximately 100
times the cube of the fraction of its maximal stretchability or shrinkability
by which the interword spaces and such in a line of text have been forced to
stretch or shrink in order to justify the line.  If you have badness 10000,
that means everything stretched about 5 times as much as it ever should--or 
perhaps more.  That looks dreadful, so TeX whines about it.

load the file in .jpg format
then save it as postscript, 
preferably grayscale so its smaller
and then when you get to the option box
choose max

For overheads, you might just want to put them in a cent er environment instead of a
figure. You don't really need figure functionality (x-refs,
floatability) on overheads.

They look nicer centered. Unless you can get the text to flow around them, center's better. Graphics
look ugly shoved up agains the side of a page.
OTOH, I think the figure environment autocenters, so
you don't need to center within a figure.

in fact, what i'd do is go through and rename all of the files you have now

mv file.epsf file.ppm

then do:

pnmtops -noturn -nocenter file.ppm > file.epsf

that way the names are non-ambiguous.
(if you're really paranoid, which i am, make a backup copy of all of the
files before trying to convert them)

No.  tar doesn't compress. Use zip.
zip zipfile file1 file2...
(where file1 file2... are the filenames of the files you want to compress
