Congratulations!
You're lucky to have written your thesis in an era when such great tools
are available. I wrote mine on a PDP-11 using a plaintext editor and a
fixed pitch daisywheel, pasting in the Greek letters from ruboff sheets.
And I was very happy to have at least a computer available! Didn't look
nearly as good though... looks do matter.
Now you won't have any excuse not to keep maintaining reLyX ;-)
