This is a conversion of Chris Martin's modification of the ucthesis.sty style file to the LaTeX2e format, with the following additional changes (all clearly marked with %% comments): -- If you start a chapter, section or whatever with, e.g., \chapter[short title]{long title}, "long title" will go in the chapter heading and the table of contents, but "short title" will go at the top of the page. (The default is for "short title" to go in the table of contents as well.) (I did not make this modification to \part) ** It's not a modification, but in the same vein, typing \caption[short caption]{long caption} will put "short caption" in the list of figures and "long caption" in the body of the paper. (This should come in handy for those of us who follow the Jim Hartle school of figure caption composition.) -- Chapter numbers are in roman rather than arabic numerals. -- Equations are numbered by section, e.g, (I.2.3) rather that (I.36) Any of these changes should be pretty easily reversible. Please see for more details. Shaggy
