(1) In this directory you will find the LaTeX2e package LNCSE from
    Springer-Verlag for VisMath '97. This macro package has originally
    been created for Springer's series "Lecture Notes in Computational
    Science and Engineering".

    It consists of the following files:

    example.tex    example showing how to code
    example.bib    example BibTeX file for those who want to use BibTeX
    example.ps     PostScript version of example.tex
 
    lncsedoc.tex   general instructions, this is the LaTeX source
                   for the LNCSE documentation. 
    lncsedoc.ps    PostScript version of lncsedoc.tex

    sprdemo.tex    Springer's example showing how to code
    lncse.cls      the LaTeX2e class file lncse, version 1.0
    empty.eps      empty Encapsulated PostScript image (used by lncsedoc.tex)
    critical.eps   an Encapsulated PostScript image (used by example.tex)
    square.eps     an Encapsulated PostScript image (used by example.tex)

    sprdemo.ind    an author index file (used by sprdemo.tex)
    subjidx.ind    an subject index file (used by sprdemo.tex)
    sprmindx.sty   a configuration file for the makeindex program
    lncsedoc.sty   modifications of the LNCSE class needed for lncsedoc.tex
    vmams.bst      bibliography style file (used by example.tex)

(2) To use this macro package you need LaTeX2e, the successor of LaTeX
    version 2.09.
    If you don't have LaTeX2e available on your computer, install it, or ask 
    someone to do that for you. LaTeX2e is available in the public domain.

(3) How to proceed:

    - Print out the PostScript files lncsedoc.ps and example.ps.  In case your 
      printer can't handle PostScript format, latex both lncsedoc.tex and
      example.tex to generate a format that matches your printer's
      capabilities.

    - Put lncse.cls in your working directory and start authoring your article.

    - The length of a paper should not exceed 14 pages including bibliography. 
      Additionally, every author may append up to two color plates
      (i.e. two full pages) to the appendix of the book.
