Version 1.0: [7k gzipped tar file]

The manuscript template requires the manuscript.sty style file, which was posted to Usenet in 1998. There is another version available from CTAN, but I haven't tested it.

Installation and use

To write a document with a template, insert the contents of the template file into a new file that has a .tex or .ltx/.latex extension, and edit that. (Use your favorite text editor.)

To make sure that you don't accidentally overwrite the actual template files, you can make them read only, like this:

$ chmod a-w template-file-names

The bracketed, uppercase text in the templates explain what kind of text belongs there; fill in these lines with your own text, and delete the ones you don't need.
