Put the materials in your favorite spot. For instance, on Unix-like system a good spot may be /var/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/examdesign/ . In that directory run latex examdesign.ins (and then you might have to copy the created file examdesign.cls into an area where LaTeX2e can find it). Don't forget to run "texhash" (if you are using a menu-ed environment you may need to find a menu item like "Rebuild the TeX database"). Make your new document like this. \documentclass[10pt]{examdesign} \begin{document} : \end{document} Use the example files as a start. .................................................................. 2006-Sept-05 Jim Hefferon (From some material from JA.)
