[nfbcs] LaTeX [was "Re: Computer science mentors?"]

[John Heim]

I do exactly the same things. I've been using latex since long before 
the world wide web existed but now a days, I google it. The wikibook on 
latex is an excellent place to start. After creating the doc in latex, I 
convert it to a pdf with pdflatex and that's the document I sent out. 
This is all linux, of course. That's another issue.
