IU Thesis Document Class

The iuthesis document class is a LaTeX2e document class that produces output acceptable (as of Summer 1999) for an Indiana University Bloomington Masters or Doctoral thesis. It is available free for anybody's use, but comes with NO WARRANTY. In particular, the author is not responsible if it produces output that is not acceptable to the graduate school. This document class is not officially sanctioned by the University Graduate School, although several theses have been written with it and accepted.

The packed version.
The iuthesis document class comes in two files: iuthesis.dtx and iuthesis.ins. Download both (under Netscape, you can do this by Shift-clicking on each link) into the same directory, then run latex on iuthesis.ins. This will generate two more files: iuthesis.cls and iuthesis.tex. The former is the document class file itself. The latter is the user documentation; if you run latex on iuthesis.tex, you will get the documentation for the document class. If you would like to see line-by-line documentation of the source code (not recommended for normal use), run latex on iuthesis.tex.
The unpacked version.
If you do not want to go through the above steps, you can download the upacked iuthesis.cls file directly.
The documentation.
You can view the documentation in the following formats: Gzipped PostScript, PDF.
