Subject: New lcsletter.sty

I've just put the new version of lcsletter.sty in the ftp directory on
theory.  It's in the directory pub/tex and you can retrieve it via
anonymous ftp.  There are two files, lcsletter.sty and mitlogo.ps
(mitlogo.ps is only necessary if you still want to be able to use the
old masthead).  Please forward this message to someone in your group
who can retreive these files and install them in the TeX inputs
directory on your system.  (I've more or less assumed that you'll be
using dvips, so if you aren't, whoever installs this may have to make
a few modifications.)

I've enclosed a sample letter below that demonstrates most of the
features of the style.  In addition, there is also a "memo"
environment that can be used instead of the "letter" environment.
It's used as follows:

    \documentstyle{lcsletter}

    \netaddress{dmjones@theory.lcs.mit.edu}

    \room{NE43-315}

    \fax{(617) 253-3480}

    \extension{5936}

    \begin{document}

    \begin{memo}{To: & Author's name\\
    From: & Me\\
    Date: & October 21, 1993\\
    Re: &Stuff}

    <body of memo>

    \end{memo}

    \end{document}

Subject: Re: New lcsletter.sty

Oops.  I just discovered a glitch in onepage option in the new
lcsletter.sty.  I've fixed it and put the new style file in pub/tex on
theory.  If you've already grabbed the old one, please grab the new
version (version 3.01) now.  Sorry about that.

I've also changed the zip code to 02139-3539 as per Newton's earlier
mail.  Since there seems to be some dispute over what the correct zip
code is, you can now override this with the \zip command (e.g.,
\zip{02139} or \zip{02139-4307}).

David.
