Re: writing pdf

[Andor Demarteau <ademarte@students.cs.uu.nl>]

hi,
I must recommand and complement the auther of the latex-manual (see
below) for a job well done.
I've downloaded it and converted it to a text-version via wrod2x.
I have looked around often enough for a document like this and I'm very
pleased to have found it finally.
well done!
