• How can I use the Math Department letterhead in a tex document?

  Brad Lucier has installed new math department letterhead macros for amstex and plain tex for the new tex.
  You need to have /pkgs/texlive/2005/bin/sparc-solaris/ early in your unix path to use these new macros.

  There are sample files showing how to use them at:

  /pkgs/texlive/2005/texmf-local/tex/plain/local/

  The short version is that after the

  \input amstex
\documentstyle{whatever}

  lines (if any) say

  \input mathletter2006
  You can use the macros \address, \salutation, and \closing for the obvious things. By default, it uses a black-and-white version of the Purdue logo; if you have a color printer and want to use the black-and-gold version, say \goldlogo after you input mathletter.
  Tell Brad Lucier if you have problems (but please see plaintest.tex and amstextest.tex first).
