If you retrieve these files via a Web browser, please note that you need to use the browser's "Save As..." facility. Both files are identical as to their contents. Please note, that we are recommending to use a slightly modified sample file (click here).

If you are not using a Web browser to obtain the files, please do the following:

  ftp ftp.eso.org

Preparing your contribution:

The file author.tex contains a sample contribution, which can be used as a template for your own text.

Figures must be provided as Encapsulated PostScript files and should be incorporated in your contribution using the standard Latex2e "graphicx" package as demonstrated in the demo file author.tex.

Please use the following naming convention for your files: The Latex file of your text should be called myname.tex, where "myname" (all in lower-case) is the family name of the first author. Any figures should be named "mynameF1.ps" (or .eps), "mynameF2a.ps" etc, for figure 1, figure 2a, etc.

It is planned to have an object and subject index to the proceedings. Therefore we would appreciate if the authors could make key word suggestions for the subject index in the form of a LATEX comment at the beginning of their text contribution.

Please note the following important constraints:

• DO NOT change the macros, as this can cause unpredictable effects when the individual contributions are compiled together to produce the final manuscript.
• The TeX \def command is forbidden!
• The LaTeX2e \renewcommand command is forbidden!
• Personal LaTeX2e command definitions using \newcommand are allowed, but should be kept to an absolute minimum, and made uniquely identifiable by appending your name to the command.
