In general, a brief description of what a particular macro does is included at the beginning of the macro file. To access a macro, add the following line in your TeX document:
\input filenameIf you want to use one of the templates, first copy it to your directory and then edit it to fit your specific needs.
Filename Description lettersetup Macro for letterform.tex template letsetup2sig.tex Modification of the lettersetup.tex macro to allow for two signatures on a letter memosetup Macro for memoform.tex outline.tex Macro for setting up an outline symbols.tex Contains frequently used symbols ref.tex Macro for formatting bibliographic references decimal.tex Macro for lining up numbers in tables hopenote.tex Left-justified footnote macro dubcol.tex Double column macro journals.tex Various macros for journal abbreviations chappage.tex For numbering chapters. First page has the number at the bottom of the page. Subsequent pages have the number on upper left or right corner. amsmacro.tex Formats manuscript in AMS journal style. dblcolins.tex Allows floating figure inserts in double-column mode. letterspace.tex Allows you to alter default spacing between letters. fakesc.tex Allows you to simulate lower case caps when not available. newitem.tex This macro functions like the item command; however, it allows you to put a "word" as the first input parameter and still have the margins justified. raggedright.tex This macro modifies the hyphenation used when using unjustified margins. fpmacros. tex Macros for generating papers in preprint formatThe two macro files symbols.tex and journals.tex contain several macros for frequently-used symbols and journal abbreviations for insertion into manuscripts and bibliographies, respectively.
Filename Description letterform MMM letter format letform2sig.tex Modification to allow two signatures in the standard letterform.tex memoform MMM memo format cv.tex Curriculum Vitae (resume) format ams_model.tex Format for camera-ready two-column AMS paper tabs.tex Sample for setting up a settabs table jourform.tex Template for AMS manuscripts amstest.tex Sample AMS paper pptempl.tex Template for preprint format pptest.tex Sample of preprint format
\include epsf (tex) \input epsf (latex)This includes the macro needed to interpret the subsequent commands.
From an NCAR Graphics metacode file, you must produce a postscript file. Each individual plot must reside in its own file. For a metacode file containing several plots, use idt to select a frame and use the save function to put it to its own file. You may save as many frames by this method as you want, each in a separate file. To convert this to postscript, use ctrans. For example, to convert the metacode file, plot1.gmeta to postscript, use the command
ctrans -d ps.mono plot1.gmeta > plot1.psWhen using TeX's plotting capability, you can specify the size you want. If not specified, the plot will be printed in its "natural" size, usually a full page. You can specify either the x dimension or y dimension you desire, and the espf routine will scale the other dimension proportionately, using the following commands.
\epsfxsize=<dimen>
\epsfysize=<dimen>For example, \epsfxsize=3.0truein requests a size in the x dimension of 3.0 inches. The y size will be scaled accordingly (for example, to 3.0 inches for a square plot). Note that these sizes are approximate; the actual plotted graphics seem to print somewhat larger. You must also specify the size before each plot you include; the size is reset each time.
To get the postscript graphics file, use the command, \epsffile. You can use the \centerline command to center the plot on the page. For example, the set of commands,
\centerline{ \epsfxsize=3.0truein \epsffile{/users/joanne/tex/plot1.ps}}
(Tex)
\centerline{ \epsfxsize=3.0truein \epsffile{/users/joanne/latex/plot1.ps}
(Latex)
will fetch the designated graphics file, scale it to about 3 inches, and
center it on the page at the current position in the text. TeX will include
a fair amount of white space above and below the plot, but you can reduce
that if desired by the use of a negative vskip.
The graphics do not show up on the TeX preview facility. The proper spaces are included, but the plots do not appear in them.

Open a web browser such as netscape and go to the following URL:
http://www.fin.ucar.edu/calendar/
Click on the text "meetingmaker java client" to access Meeting Maker.
The first time you attempt to login you will be asked to grant three Java security privledges. Click in the box "Remember this Decision" and click the "Grant" button. Do this for all three privleges.
After you have completed granting privleges on your first login, the Meeting Maker sign in dialog box appears. Enter your username and password.
Your Username is the first part of your UCAR email address and initially you have no password.
After you enter your username and password, click on "Sign In".
The web client does not give you full functionality. Therefore, the native client is available on the Sun system and on 2 PC's within the division, juneberry (located on the 2nd floor in a cubicle behind peach) and kapok (located in a cubicle outside Rich Rotunno's office). You can use the native client to grant proxy to your calendar and create contact lists. Please see the previous section for information on how to use the native client version.
Testing has shown us that the first time you log into the server with the web client it may be slow. Please be patient with it and let it run. It's been known to take up to 6 minutes with the first login. Any subsequent logins have been considerably faster.
For more information on how to use the software, please see the
