I think I'm gonna go with koma, Trevor. For one, the documentation strikes me as excellent. Certainly compared to memoir. Don't remember where I accessed them at the moment, or which ones, but I did take a look at a few class documents. There were a couple relatively simple ones that I could make rough sense of. Many were overwhelming. I'd like to have at least some idea what I'm working with, and to be able to refer back to the class document while I'm working with it to see if I can learn how it works. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA [email protected]
