- DEPROC -- A TeX Header for Formatting DECUS Proceedings Articles
-
-
- DEPROC is a package that will format articles for the DECUS Pro-
- ceedings. It can be used by anyone who has access to the TeX
- typesetting system. DEPROC is a TeX header (macro package).
-
-
- The DECUS Proceedings have traditionally been published from copy
- supplied by the authors, prepared according to rules devised for
- typewritten material. The power of the computer typesetting language
- TeX has now been applied to this task, and a formatting package, named
- DEPROC, has been submitted to the DECUS Program Library for use by
- authors who have access to a working TeX system. (The TeX program and
- related software, created by Donald Knuth of Stanford, are in the
- public domain.)
-
- The documentation (which was itself produced by the DEPROC package--
- see file DEPROCDOC.TEX) presents the important features of DEPROC and,
- through examples, shows how it is to be used. Use of DEPROC, which is
- encouraged, will produce the author's work, nicely typeset, in the
- standard Proceedings format. There is a general description of how
- the package works and of the mechanical requirements for camera copy
- of Proceedings articles, which will be created on the author's local
- output device.
-
- No prior knowledge of TeX is required, but authors using DEPROC will
- be expected to learn some rudiments, especially if their papers
- contain special notation or formats such as tables. A sample table
- appears in DEPROCDEV.TEX and DEPROCDEV.FIL, the files used to prepare
- a table of output devices which have been interfaced to DEC computers.
