% User-visible options and commands special in this style:
%
%     Optional arguments to "\documentstyle" command:
%
%         MA, MS, PhD, EdD
%             Type of degree being awarded.  Default is "PhD".  If "EdD"
%             is specified, a "\nodepartment" command is assumed (but
%             can be overridden with a "\department{...}" command).
%
%         single, double
%             Line spacing.  Default is "double".
%             NOTE:  Single spacing is NON-CONFORMING to the RFTADP.
%
%     twoside
%             Two-sided printing (for a duplex printer).
%             NOTE:  two-sided printing is NON-CONFORMING to the RFTADP.
%
%     nohyphenatetitles, hyphenatetitles
%         Don't hyphenate section (and subsection...) titles.
%             Default is hyphenatetitles.
%
%     Commands (to specify preliminary page info):
%
%         \title{X}
%             Set the document title to "X".  Must always be specified.
%
%         \author{X}
%             Set the author to "X".  Must always be specified.
%
%         \authortitles{X}
%             Set the author titles to "X".  Must always be specified.
%
%         \department{X}
%             Set the department name (in the degree title) to "X".
%             Must always be specified, unless a "\nodepartment" command
%             is given, or unless the "EdD" argument is supplied in the
%             "\documentstyle" command.
%
%         \thesis{X}
%             Set the document type to "thesis", and the degree name to
%             "X".  This command is normally not needed, since an "MA"
%             or "MS" option to "\documentstyle" will do the same thing
%             in all standard situations.
%
%         \dissertation{X}
%             Set the document type to "dissertation", and the degree
%             name to "X".  This command is normally not needed, since
%             a "PhD" or "EdD" option to "\documentstyle" will do the
%             same thing in all standard situations.
%
%         \nodepartment
%             Omit the department name from the degree title.  This
%             command should be used only in situations where the
%             department name is officially unnecessary (such as when an
%             "EdD" or customized degree title is specified).
%
%         \degreemonth{X}
%             Set the month in which the degree will be awarded to "X".
%             Default is the current month.
%
%         \degreeyear{X}
%             Set the year in which the degree will be awarded to "X".
%             Default is the current year.
%
%         \copyrightyear{X}
%             Set the year which appears in the copyright notice to "X".
%             Default is the degree year (see above).  If the copyright
%             and degree years are different, both will be included in
%             the copyright notice (with the copyright year first).
%
%         \nocopyright
%             Don't include a copyright notice at all.  A completely
%             blank "copyright" page will be produced instead.
%
%         \titlesize{X}
%             Print the document title (on the "title" and "abstract"
%             pages) in "X" size type.  Default is "Large" (17-point).
%             Although any LaTeX type size name will be accepted, the
%             only non-default value likely to give satisfactory results
%             is "LARGE" (20-point).
%
%         \chair{X, Y}
%             The committee chair's name is "X", academic title is "Y".
%             There may be up to three chairs (co-chairs); co-chairs
%             are printed in the given order on the "signature" page
%             (before the other members specified in "\member" commands;
%             see below).
%
%         \member{X, Y}
%             The name of one committee member (other than the chair or
%             a co-chair) is "X", and academic title is "Y". There may 
%             be up to six of these; they are printed in order on the
%             "signature" page, after the chair(s).
%
%         \director{X}
%             The name of the Program Director. This is printed in the
%             right side of the page, after the chair and members of the
%             committee.
%
%         \deptchair{X}
%             The name of the Department Chair. This is printed in the
%             right side of the page, after the chair, members of the
%             committee, and Program Director
%
%         \dedication{X}
%             The text "X" is used as the dedication (in a "center"
%             environment).  Default is not to have a dedication.
%
%         \acknowledgments{X}
%             The text "X" is used for the "ACKNOWLEDGMENTS" page.
%             Default is not to have an "ACKNOWLEDGMENTS" page.
%
%         \vitaitem{X}{Y}
%             An entry is added to the "VITA" page, with year "X" and
%             text "Y".
%
%         \publication{X}
%             A "publication" entry is added to the "VITA" page, with
%             text "X".
%
%         \presentation{X}
%             A "presentation" entry is added to the "VITA" page, with
%             text "X".
%
%         \abstract{X}
%             The text "X" is used as the abstract.

%
%  Notes on the LaTeX2e port:
%
%  I have done a quick port of Rich Wales' "thesis" LaTeX 2.09
%  document style to LaTeX2e.  The major changes were in option
%  handling and font selection.  Additionally, I renamed the files
%  to fit within MS-DOS 8.3 constraints (even though I neither use
%  nor advocate MS-DOS).

%
% A \subsection command writes a 
%       \contentsline{subsection}{TITLE}{PAGE}
% command on the .toc file, where TITLE contains the contents of the
% entry and PAGE is the page number.  If subsections are being numbered,
% then TITLE will be of the form
%       \numberline{NUM}{HEADING}
% where NUM is the number produced by \thesubsection.  Other sectioning
% commands work similarly.  
%
% A \caption command in a 'figure' environment writes
%    \contentsline{figure}{\numberline{NUM}{CAPTION}}{PAGE}
% on the .lof file, where NUM is the number produced by \thefigure and
% CAPTION is the figure caption.  It works similarly for a 'table' environment.
%
% The command \contentsline{NAME} expands to \l@NAME.  So, to specify
% the table of contents, we must define \l@chapter, \l@section, 
% \l@subsection, ... ; to specify the list of figures, we must define
% \l@figure; and so on.  Most of these can be defined with the
% \@dottedtocline command, which works as follows.
%
% \@dottedtocline{LEVEL}{INDENT}{NUMWIDTH}{TITLE}{PAGE}
%    LEVEL    : An entry is produced only if LEVEL < or = value of 
%               'tocdepth' counter.  Note, \chapter is level 0, \section
%               is level 1, etc.
%    INDENT   : The indentation from the outer left margin of the start of 
%               the contents line.
%    NUMWIDTH : The width of a box in which the section number is to go,
%               if TITLE includes a \numberline command.
%   
% This command uses the following three parameters, which are set
% with a \def (so em's can be used to make them depend upon the font).
%   \@pnumwidth : The width of a box in which the page number is put.
%   \@tocrmarg  : The right margin for multiple line entries.  One
%                 wants \@tocrmarg > or = \@pnumwidth
%   \@dotsep    : Separation between dots, in mu units.  Should be \def'd to
%                 a number like 2 or 1.7

% \footnoterule is a macro to draw the rule separating the footnotes from
% the text.  It should take zero vertical space, so it needs a negative
% skip to compensate for any positive space taken by the rule.  (See
% PLAIN.TEX.)

\def\footnoterule{\kern-3\p@   
  \hrule width .4\columnwidth 
  \kern 2.6\p@}                 % The \hrule has default height of .4pt .

% \newcounter{footnote}
\@addtoreset{footnote}{chapter}  % Numbers footnotes within chapters

%   \@makefntext{NOTE} :
%        Must produce the actual footnote, using \@thefnmark as the mark 
%        of the footnote and NOTE as the text.  It is called when effectively
%        inside a \parbox of width \columnwidth (i.e., with \hsize = 
%        \columnwidth).  
%
%        The following macro indents all lines of the footnote by 10pt, and 
%        indents the first line of a new paragraph by 1em.  To change these 
%        dimensions, just substitute the desired value for '10pt' [in both 
%        places] or '1em'.  The mark is flushright against the footnote.

%
%        A simpler macro is used, in which the footnote text is
%        set like an ordinary text paragraph, with no indentation except
%        on the first line of a paragraph, and the first line of the 
%        footnote.  Thus, all the macro must do is set \parindent
%        to the appropriate value for succeeding paragraphs and put the 
%        proper indentation before mark.

% To define a float of type TYPE (e.g., TYPE = figure), the document style 
% must define the following.
%
%  \fps@TYPE   : The default placement specifier for floats of type TYPE.
%
%  \ftype@TYPE : The type number for floats of type TYPE.  Each TYPE has
%                associated a unique positive TYPE NUMBER, which is a power 
%                of two.  E.g., figures might have type number 1, tables type

%
%  \ext@TYPE   : The file extension indicating the file on which the

%
%  \fnum@TYPE  : A macro to generate the figure number for a caption.
%                For example, \fnum@TYPE == Figure \thefigure.
%
%  The actual float-making environment commands--e.g., the commands
%  \figure and \endfigure--are defined in terms of the macros \@float
%  and \end@float, which are described below.
%
%  \@float{TYPE}[PLACEMENT] : Macro to begin a float environment for a 
%     single-column float of type TYPE with PLACEMENT as the placement 
%     specifier.  The default value of PLACEMENT is defined by \fps@TYPE.   
%     The environment is ended by \end@float.  
%     E.g., \figure == \@float{figure}, \endfigure == \end@float.

%    ****************************************
%
% The page style 'foo' is defined by defining the command \ps@foo.  This
% command should make only local definitions.  There should be no stray
% spaces in the definition, since they could lead to mysterious extra
% spaces in the output.
%
% The \ps@... command defines the macros \@oddhead, \@oddfoot,
% \@evenhead, and \@evenfoot to define the running heads and
% feet---e.g., \@oddhead is the macro to produce the contents of the
% heading box for odd-numbered pages.  It is called inside an \hbox of
% width \textwidth.
%
% To make headings determined by the sectioning commands, the page style
% defines the commands \chaptermark, \sectionmark, ... , where
% \chaptermark{TEXT} is called by \chapter to set a mark, and so on.
% The \...mark commands and the \...head macros are defined with the
% help of the following macros.  (All the \...mark commands should be
% initialized to no-ops.)
%
% MARKING CONVENTIONS:
% LaTeX extends TeX's \mark facility by producing two kinds of marks
% a 'left' and a 'right' mark, using the following commands:
%     \markboth{LEFT}{RIGHT} : Adds both marks.
%     \markright{RIGHT}      : Adds a 'right' mark.
%     \leftmark  : Used in the \@oddhead, \@oddfoot, \@evenhead or \@evenfoot
%                  macro, gets the current 'left'  mark.  Works like TeX's 
%                  \botmark command.
%     \rightmark : Used in the \@oddhead, \@oddfoot, \@evenhead or \@evenfoot
%                  macro, gets the current 'right'  mark.  Works like TeX's 
%                  \firstmark command.
% The marking commands work reasonably well for right marks 'numbered 
% within' left marks--e.g., the left mark is changed by a \chapter command and
% the right mark is changed by a \section command.  However, it does
% produce somewhat anomalous results if two \bothmark's occur on the same page.
