% ACMCONF DOCUMENT STYLE - Updated 10 April 1995.
%
% This is a patched version of the 5 April 1993 release.  No stylistic
% changes have been made; it should produce output identical to the 1993
% release if that release worked properly on your system.  A LaTeX2e patch
% has been added for systems having problems with the section header font.

% If you get an error message similar to

%	Modification of Traub/Shivers version by Kevin Theobald, McGill
%	University.  New version has automatic copyright space, option
%	for box around "to appear" entry, and style option to indent
%	first paragraph after subheadings.  Released 5 April 1993.
%
%	To use: install in reachable directory (one contained in TEXINPUTS
%	environment variable); use \documentstyle[<options>]{acmconf}

% ARTICLE DOCUMENT STYLE -- Released 16 March 1988
%    for LaTeX version 2.09
% Copyright (C) 1988 by Leslie Lamport

%%% ACMCONF is a document style for producing two-column camera-ready pages for
%%% ACM conferences, according to ACM specifications.  The main features of
%%% this style are:
%%%
%%% 1)  Two columns.
%%% 2)  Side and top margins of 4.5pc, bottom margin of 6pc, column gutter of
%%%     2pc, hence columns are 20pc wide and 55.5pc tall.  (6pc = 1in, approx)
%%% 3)  First page has title information, and an extra 6pc of space at the
%%%     bottom of the first column for the ACM copyright notice.
%%% 4)  Text is 9pt on 10pt baselines; titles (except main) are 9pt bold.
%%%
%%% This document style supports a [preprint] style option that allows
%%% you to run off a copy for a preprint -- with page numbers, "to
%%% appear" information, and so forth. This is documented below.
%%%
%%% This document style also supports a [secindent] style option which
%%% causes paragraphs following (sub)section heads to be indented like
%%% the others.	 (Added by KBT)
%%%
%%% There are a few restrictions you must observe:
%%%
%%% 1)  You cannot change the font size; ACM wants you to use 9pt.
%%% 3)  You must start your paper with the \maketitle command.  Prior to the
%%%     \maketitle you must have \title and \author commands.  If you have a
%%%     \date command it will be ignored; no date appears on the paper, since
%%%     the proceedings will have a date on the front cover.
%%% 4)  Marginal paragraphs, tables of contents, lists of figures and tables,
%%%     and page headings are all forbidden.
%%% 5)  The `figure' environment will produce a figure one column wide; if you
%%%     want one that is two columns wide, use `figure*'.
%%%
%%% Page Headings:
%%% Normally, \pagestyle commands are ignored --- pages have no headings or
%%% numbers. ACM will number the pages for you when they are inserted into the
%%% proceedings (you should put page numbers on the BACK of each page, though,
%%% in case someone drops your paper on the floor).
%%%
%%% If the [preprint] option is present, then \pagestyle commands are obeyed,
%%% and the default is \pagestyle{plain}.  All pages (including the first)
%%% are numbered.  (This is useful if you want to make a reprint version
%%% of your paper, with page numbering identical to the conference
%%% proceedings.  In such a case, you may need to insert the command
%%% \setcounter{page}{...} before \maketitle.) The [twoside] option is
%%% also useful when using headers.
%%%
%%% Copyright Space:
%%% This style automatically leaves 1" blank space at the bottom of page 1/
%%% column 1.  This space can optionally be filled with some text using the
%%% \toappear{...} command.  If used, this command must be BEFORE the \maketitle
%%% command.  If this command is defined AND [preprint] is on, then the
%%% space is filled with the {...} text (at the bottom); otherwise, it is
%%% blank.  If you use \toappearbox{...} instead of \toappear{...} then a
%%% box will be drawn around the text (if [preprint] is on).
%%%
%%% A typical usage looks like this:
%%%     \toappear{To appear in the Ninth AES Conference on Medievil Lithuanian
%%%               Embalming Technique, June 1991, Alfaretta, Georgia.}
%%% This will be included in the preprint, and left out of the conference
%%% version.
%%%
%%% Acmconf defines two useful conditionals.
%%% - \ifacmconf{true-stuff}{false-stuff}
%%%   expands to true-stuff.
%%% - \ifpreprint true-stuff \else else-stuff \fi
%%%   expands to true-stuff if the [preprint] option is being used,
%%%   otherwise it expands to else-stuff.
%%% \ifacmconf is a latex command; \ifpreprint is a real latex conditional.
%%%
%%% WARNING:
%%% Some dvi-ps converters heuristically allow chars to drift from their
%%% true positions a few pixels. This loses noticeably with the 9pt sans-serif
%%% bold font used for section headers. You turn this hackery off in our
%%% dvi-ps converters with the -e option:
%%%     dvips -e 0 foo.dvi >foo.ps
