All,

This may be true, but that means I have to take my paper that's currently
in LaTeX format (with a complete BibTeX bibliography) and re-edit it into
another word processor... just so I can get the style information for the
paper?

If Enda or someone were to put together the actual typographic
specifications in a textual format, then we* can create or modify a LaTeX
stylesheet to work for those of us using ... well, LaTeX, anyway.

For an example of what I mean, see

http://www.tcnj.edu/~compsci/sigcse2002/format.html

which describes in enough detail a paper format such that any document
creation tool could be used to create a paper for that conference.

Or, perhaps this is what Enda is going to send me. ?

Thanks,
Matt

* "We" who are interested in this, because we're allready invested in the
tools we're using... "we" people like me... who could probably hack the
stylesheet, and whose interest it would be in to hack the stylesheet...
and who will stop speaking in the third person...
