% Recent changes:
%
% 12/09/98 (JMC) (most marked with %BEGIN JMC and %END JMC):
% - Updated figure and table numbering to follow section numbers and
%   work correctly with appendices
% - Changed chapter numbers to arabic style
% - Changed \section, \subsection and \subsubsection commands to comply
%   with the maximum width of 4 inches for titles
% - Updated \appendix command, which should be called ONCE before
%   appendices begin (sets chapter numbering to alphabetical and updates
%   section and equation numbering as necessary)
% - Added \Appendix command, which should be used in place of \Chapter for
%   appendices
% - Added \references command (which currently just changes spacing-- it
%   could be changed to automatically add a table of contents entry)
% - Added \listoftables command (necessary for proper formatting of list
%   of tables)
% - Added \abswithesis flag and separated the two versions of the abstract:
%   \abstracttext (for separate abstract with title page) and
%   \abstextwithesis (to be bound with thesis)
% - Changed order of different parts of the preliminaries (to comply with
%   the order in which they should be in the thesis)
% - Corrected page numbering styles for different parts of the
%   preliminaries to comply with requirements
% - Made numerous other small changes in various places

 %      To:  division@cs.uiowa.edu
 %    From:  Larry Peterson
 %    Date:  July 6, 1998
 % Subject:  LaTeX2e style file
 %
 % This file is a style file that you can use for writing a Ph.D.
 % thesis using LaTeX2e.  This may be of interest to you or to your
 % students.  The purpose of this file is to make LaTeX set up the
 % document so that it complies with the rules of margins and spacing
 % that the Graduate College has established.
 %
 % There is a file called uithesis.sty which is widely distributed and
 % which you can use as a style file for a thesis.  The problem I had with
 % uithesis.sty was that it did not work with LaTeX2e.  That is, if I
 % had a "documentclass" command at the top of my file, then LaTeX would not
 % work with the uithesis.sty file.
 %
 % In the file below, I have taken uithesis.sty and made the necessary
 % modifications so that it now works with LaTeX2e, that is, with the
 % documentclass command at the top of the file.  I developed my thesis
 % with this file, and the Graduate College has accepted the final deposit.
 % I did not use all of the options associated with this style file.  For
 % example, I did not make a list of tables, and I did not make a dedication
 % page.
 %
 % I encourage everyone to use LaTeX2e instead of earlier versions of
 % LaTeX and to use "documentclass" instead of "documentstyle."  There are
 % certain things you can do with the new version that you supposedly
 % cannot do with earlier versions.
 %
 % If any of you have better style files for LaTeX2e theses, if you
 % know of such files which are available by ftp, or if you have any
 % comments, then you may wish to let the rest of us know.
 %
 % Best,
 %
 % Larry
 %
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
 %
 % This is the style file that you can use for
 % your thesis to make the margins, layout, etc., conform to the rules
 % established by the Graduate College.  
 % If you have a \documentstyle command at the beginning of
 % your file, then apparently LaTeX thinks it is a LaTeX 2.09 file.
 % I am adapting this file for use by LaTeX 2e
 % You are supposed to give this file a name ending in .sty.  Then
 % reference it from your main file using a \usepackage command.  To use the
 % features of LaTeX 2e, you should put a \documentclass command (not a
 % \documentstyle command) into your main file.
 %
 % To adequately use this style file, you will need to insert certain other
 % commands into your files.  The best way to learn how to do this is to
 % take a look at the files from someone else's thesis.
 %
 % Record of changes:
 % 06/08/98 Adding .05in to \headsep, -.05in to \topmargin, .06in to
 %	   \footskip
 % 06/03/98 Changing \singlespace from 1.0\li to 1.1\li
 % 06/03/98 In \renewcommand{\@makechapterhead}[1],
 %	   \renewcommand{\@makeschapterhead}[1], and
 %	   \prefacesection, changing
 %	   \null\vskip .55in to \null\vskip .50in
 % 06/02/98 Inserting command    \renewcommand{\listoffigures}
 %				{\chapter*{LIST OF FIGURES}\@starttoc{lof}}
 %			to make list of figures have heading in capital
 %			letters.
 %	   In \renewcommand{\@makechapterhead}[1], replacing
 %	   {\null\vskip .45in with {\null\vskip .55in to make chapter
 %	   headings two inches from top of page.
 %	   Changing ``acknowledgements'' to ``acknowledgments''
 %	   In \prefacesection, changing \null\vskip .45in to
 %	   \null\vskip .55in to make abstract and acknowledgments
 %	   headings come two inches below the top of the page.
 % 03/14/98 Lots more changes
 % 03/09/98 Setting some flags to true:  titlepg, abstractpg, ack,
 %	   figurespage, reordering preliminaries
 % 08/26/97 Increasing \headsep from .30in to .35in
 % 08/24/97 Reducing \textwidth by .12in
 % 05/15/97 replacing all occurrences of \th with \thnew to allow
 %          compatibility with LaTeX 2e
 % 05/15/97 setting all flags to false.  See comments at end of this file.
