[vox-tech] LATEX, ucthesis.cls and changes in font size

[Boris Jeremic]

Hello All,

Take a look at this set of styles (ucthesis.cls...) that all of my students used:

http://sokocalo.engr.ucdavis.edu/~jeremic/LearnLaTeX/Thesis/

(thanks to Henry for fixing my httpd.conf so that my web site now works after 
upgrade...)

The most important thing is that thesis and dissertations produced using these 
styles are in accord what UCD grad school expect in terms of formating (Ms. 
Evelyn Dennis never complained about the format...).

Boris
