\begin{Abstract}
Unfortunately the conference publisher has not yet hired a consultant to set up
proper PLAIN \TeX\ and \LaTeX\ macro files for their proceedings,
so this amateur volunteer attempt at salvaging the situation is
what you are stuck with. 
I think 10 point fonts here are a bit small, but hey, what do I 
know.\footnotemark
\end{Abstract}
\footnotetext{You can guess how I feel about  9 point font footnotes,
considering that all this gets reduced by the factor 1/1.2, which is
what the industry calls a 20\% reduction!}

\typeout{ >> MG7tex note: the footnote in the abstract must be split in this 
way as described in the Latex Manual or it will appear at the end of the
abstract minipage. However, footnotes in the abstract are considered bad
form, no?}

you need to insert  .5cm of vertical space before the opening text here.}

\section{Getting my versions of the macro files}

You've already got them! Just for the record, you do an anonymous
ftp to \newline
{\tt tiger.vill.edu} using your e-mail as the password and change
directory to {\tt mg7}. Get the {\tt readme} file first to get the
filenames you need to retrieve.
Due to incompatibilities with the original World Scientific macros,
the new files have to be separate when run through latex.
If you do not have telnet/ftp access, you can send me an e-mail requesting
the PLAIN or LATEX version [{\tt jantzen@ucis.vill.edu}].

\section{Using the file MG7LA.TEX}

\subsection{First Step}

Just run this file through \LaTeX\ and look at the resulting typeset document.
The input text of this file which generated these typeset remarks
may serve as an example to follow for the simple macro setup
of your own compuscript contribution to the proceedings.

\subsection{Macro Names}

Apart from the new macros \csb{Author}, \csb{endAuthor}, \csb{endAuthors},
I have used the usual \LaTeX\ {\tt titlepage}, {\tt abstract}, and 
{\tt section}ing macro names, except I have capitalized the first two.
Normal cross-referencing commands may be used, and  the {\tt thebibliography}
environment may be used for the references. Normal latex footnoting is
available.

\subsubsection{Test Subsubsection with Math in the 
Title: $\pounds_X Y = 0$}
There may not be much call for this level sectioning command, but here it is
just in case. Perhaps an extra sentence will make it look a little more
respectable.

\section{Equations}

The normal \LaTeX\ \cs\equation\ or \cs\eqnarray\
environments can be used, as in
\beq\label{eq:ex}
     R^\alpha{}_{\beta\gamma\delta} = 0 \ ,
\eeq
or
\beqa\label{eq:arrayex}
    g_{00} &=& -(1-2m/r)\ ,\nonumber\\
    g_{rr} &=& (1-2m/r)^{-1}\ .     
\eeqa
The macro \csb{nonumber} may be used to supress separate equation
numbering in the latter environment.
References to equations like Eq.~(\ref{eq:ex}) or Eq.~(\ref{eq:arrayex}) 
may be made with the \csb{label} and \csb{ref} commands.

\section{Tables and Figures}

I have not dealt with these, but I think the \LaTeX\ defaults are okay here.
Let's try a figure to see what happens. Look for Figure~\ref{fig:test} at the
top of this page.

\begin{figure}

\begin{center}
     \fbox{\vbox{\hrule height0pt depth 0pt width 3in \vskip2in
             \hrule height0pt depth 0pt width 3in }}
\end{center}

\caption{%\protect\small 
The Test Figure. I think 10pt fonts are wanted here.}
\label{fig:test}
\end{figure}

%\typeout{ <<  MG7tex note: without the protect command before the small
%              command in the captions, latex derails.}
              
\section{\LaTeX: Still \TeX}

I understand why people still use PLAIN tex. I use it all the time.
But no longer for structured documents like research articles. Only for
text handling problems where it is easier for me to throw together a PLAIN
format than hack something in \LaTeX. For years I avoided \LaTeX\ because
of stories of difficulties in making it do exactly what you want, but as
usual, computer phobias like the one I had are unjustified. 
In fact many things can be done
to modify \LaTeX\ without understanding the details of its guts,
just using some common sense and willingness to hunt around in the LATEX.TEX
and various DOC files for pieces to edit. However, in a situation like the
present, where the formatting macros are handed to you in either PLAIN tex
or \LaTeX, the other macros you are  using are for symbols and equations
and here you can still use almost all of PLAIN tex.\footnote{The 
first thing \LaTeX\ does is read in the file LPLAIN.TEX,
which is most of PLAIN.TEX except for
some lines of code which are commented out, 
replaced elsewhere by new commands.}
Even the useful macro \csb{eqalign} can be
resurrected and extended to multiple alignments. 
To supplement the standard \LaTeX\ manual\cite{LLL}, 
a new edition of which is about to be published, a number of good reference
books\cite{LLBL,GL,LC,TLC} are available, including the latest info 
foreshadowing the future of \LaTeX\cite{TLC}, which is evolving to
be more usable.

\section*{Acknowledgements}

Acknowledgements should follow the text just before the references,
and should use the {\tt section*} sectioning command. The
references may be done with the usual {\tt thebibliography} environment.

\appendix

\section*{Appendix A. Just a test}

This is now an appendix. Only longer contributions will need this of course.
And if you don't use the starred section command here, of course you get
``A." preceding your section heading.
For those people from non-English speaking countries for whom quotations
were never very clear in English, double quotes differ on the left and
right in typeset English material: type {\tt ``quoted words"} 
for ``quoted words" --- you must use two
left quotes on the left and two right quotes on the right (or one doublequote
on the right).  
Also, it doesn't hurt to leave more white space in your input file.
It is a lot easier to read on screen, which is what you are doing while
in the writing stage.
