\section{How to use this document} 

This document is a template for producing a PTCS Project Note using
LaTeX. To use it, proceed as follows:

\begin{itemize}
\item Copy this document:
\begin{verbatim}
/home/groups/ptcs/docs/templates/ptcspn.tex
\end{verbatim}
from Unix, or
\begin{verbatim}
\\samba-gb\ptcs\docs\templates\ptcspn.tex
\end{verbatim}
from Windows
to your working directory, and rename it {\tt ptcspnN.tex} (e.g.
{\tt ptcspn7.tex}) where {\tt ``N'' } is the next PTCS Project
Note number (contact Richard Prestage to get a number).

\item Make sure you have a copy of ptcspn.sty in your current directory,
or the standard LaTeX directory. This is also available from the same
directory as the .tex file.

\item Edit the document as appropriate, by modifying the sections
indicated as follows:

\begin{verbatim}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%  Change the following definitions as appropriate.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\end{verbatim}

\item Replacing this and the next section with your actual text!

\item When the document is in final draft form, contact
Sue Shears for a GBT Archive number, and add this and the keywords
to the document. 

\item Email or otherwise transfer the document back to Richard Prestage
for inclusion in the documentation directory (I'm in the process
of getting Chris Clark to make this more transparent).
\end{itemize}


\section{To Update a Project Note}

\begin{itemize}
\item Make sure you are working with the latest copy.
\item increment the version number by 1.
\item change the date appropriately. 
\item Update the history section with a brief summary of the changes. 
\item Send the document back to Richard again.
\end{itemize}

\end{document}
