[TriLUG] latex & thesis prep - what am i getting into?

[Jonathan Hassell]

Get MikTex and WinEdt (note that absence of the I in WinEdt) if you want 
to do it in Windows.  Both are freely availab;e; WinEdt requires a 
shareware-type registration, but your department might have one for you.

What dept. are you?
