   I recently submitted a paper to a publisher who demanded that it be in
   LaTeX format.  At first I hated this.  But later, I grew to like it as
   I learned to hack LaTeX to get it to do what I wanted.  I've heard
   several people complain about some of the LaTeX problems that I faced,
   so I've included my fixes here for people to use.

   The code is arranged in three sections: (i) LaTeX bug fixes, where I
   fix LaTeX so that it doesn't do things that are plain wrong, (ii) LaTeX
   hacks, where I hack LaTeX to make it conform to a style that I prefer,
   and (iii) useful macros from Plain TeX that for some specious reason
   are not included in LaTeX.  I've also included a proof environment
   that gives Halmos's tombstone.


       Note to LaTeX-but-non-TeX users: I highly recommend using Plain
       TeX macros like \pmatrix etc.  You will find typing

	       $$\pmatrix{a&b\cr c&d}$$

       much faster and easier than typing

	       \[\left(\begin{array}{cc}a&b\\c&d\end{array}\right)\].

       Most of these macros, described in Chapters 16-19 of the TeXbook,
       are defined in standard LaTeX, so you may use them.


   Included below are the following:

   LaTeX bug fixes:

   1. Fix eqnarray to delete those awful spaces around the relation.
   2. Use correct 12-point math extension font.
   3. Define correct 12-point \big,...,\Bigg macros.

   LaTeX hacks:

   1. Add 10-point bold roman subscripts.
   2. Put stretchiness and new hooks in the theorem environment.
   3. Add an environment for proofs.
   4. Change LaTeX's \cite command for bold citations separated by thinspaces.
   5. Add Plain TeX's \headline and \footline to plain pagestyle.

   Plain TeX additions:

   1. Add \eqalign.
   2. \overfullrule=5pt (Plain TeX's setting).


   The code follows.  All of this code should be placed in LaTeX's
   preamble (between \documentstyle and \begin{document}).  If you only
   take part of this code, be sure to surround it in your preamble with
   the LaTeX commands \makeatletter and \makeatother.  And, of course, if
   you don't like anything about these macros, you are free to change them.
