Instructions for authors

Prepare a file named 'info' containing basic information about the paper in the following plain ascii format.

Author: John Q. Author
Title: On prime pseudonumbers
Email: jqauthor@math.univ.edu

In this paper we prove an interesting theorem
about prime pseudonumbers.  We also prove
an interesting corollary.

You may mark up the body of the file (not the header) with HTML commands, as in the HTML specification. For example, the abstract may contain multiple paragraphs, separated by the symbol <P>.

Now use ftp to contact the machine "n-theory.math.uiuc.edu" with login name "n-theory" and with password "n-theory", and enter the directory "incoming" with the "cd" command. Make a new directory there with a temporary name you choose, and enter that directory. Upload the file "info" along with the dvi file or files that constitute your paper or book. Remember to specify binary mode for the dvi files with the "binary" command.

We convert your dvi files into postscript automatically, assuming "letter" size paper. If your dvi files are intended for A4 size paper, please include the TeX command "\special{papersize=21cm,29.7cm}" in your tex file somewhere on the first page of the document. This will be useful to dvips.

Long works may be separated into multiple dvi files to facilitate viewing over the network. These files should be named so that alphabetic ordering of the file names provides the natural order for viewing.

An additional file whose name has the form xxxx.info can be included to provide information about your file xxxx, if necessary.

That's all there is to it. Eventually someone will notice that you've placed files on our machine and move them into the archives.

When your paper is ultimately published we would greatly appreciate being informed. At that time we will remove the preprint and leave a pointer to the journal in which it was published.

If you can figure out how to upload a dvi file without the resource fork, please do that. Otherwise we have to try to remove it manually. Also, it appears that the "export" file from DVI-Tool is the one we can use here. If you are using Fetch, then you should send the file as "raw data".
