LaTeX formating

We strongly recommend that only LaTeX2e and the New Font Selection System be used for manuscripts. Most authors have already switched: if the first command in your .tex file is \documentclass, and the times package is invoked, then you have switched; if your .tex file still start with \documentstyle, then you are most likely still using LaTeX 2.09, and are missing on a number of significant LaTeX improvements.

Here is an experimental, yet quite stable, class for preparing IEEE CS-style conference papers. It is derived from the LaTeX2e article class, thus it should be trivial to apply to existing documents. It has a few extra features such as running headers identifying the manuscript, or timestamps for draft versions. It can also produce papers for double-blind review conferences (this is NOT the case for 3DIM2003!). 

twocolconf.cls:  the LaTeX class file. It must be named twocolconf.cls on your computer as well.
tcc-example.tex:  an example of its use which is also the documention. 
tcc-example.pdf:  a PDF version of the file.

When used for manuscript submitted for review, the class should be invoked as:
\documentclass[reviewversion,strict]{twocolconf}

A skeleton article file for 3DIM 2003 is also provided: 3dim-template.tex

All these files are found here.

(NOTE: please make sure you use the latest version of the twocolconf class).
