% no guarantee is given that the format corresponds perfectly to 
% IEEE 8.5" x 11" Proceedings, but most features should be ok.
%
% --------------------------------------------------------------- 
% with LaTeX2e:
% =============
%
% use as 
%   \documentclass[times,10pt,twocolumn]{article} 
%   \usepackage{latex8}
%   \usepackage{times}
%
% --------------------------------------------------------------- 

% with LaTeX 2.09:
% ================
%
% use as 
%   \documentstyle[times,art10,twocolumn,latex8]{article}
%
% --------------------------------------------------------------- 
% with both versions:
% ===================
%
% specify \pagestyle{empty} to omit page numbers in the final 
% version
%
% specify references as
%   \bibliographystyle{latex8}
%   \bibliography{...your files...}
%
% use Section{} and SubSection{} instead of standard section{} 
%    and subsection{} to obtain headings in the form 
%    "1.3. My heading"
%
