CS 664: How to Scribe

This page should provide enough information to get you started. Unfortunately, LaTeX can be complicated and has many options, we are unable to provide a reference to the LaTeX system itself. What is provided is a commented version of the third lecture scribe's notes. This consists of a few parts: You should first look at the file lec3.tex. Comments in the source begin with a % symbol. Typically you will edit this file so that it contains your notes. Then you can "compile" the LaTeX file, for example "latex lec3.tex". This will create a few files, including "lec3.aux", "lec3.log", and "lec3.dvi". The important file is lec3.dvi, this is contains the formatted text. You can view this file using the "xdvi" program. This file will not include any EPS figures that you might add, you will need to run "dvips -o lec3.ps lec3.dvi" to create the final postscript file, lec3.ps.

Submissions:

Eventually, your going to have to turn the mess in. What we need is the final postscript file, the LaTeX file, and the EPS files for any of the figures you created. If you have an account on the cs or sunlab systems, you can just email the locations to jmiller@cs.cornell.edu, otherwise you will have to mail me a uuencoded tar file of the files.
