<P> Compatibility PS-LaTeX General PS-LaTeX is a PostScript-based version of LaTeX, which uses PostScript fonts rather than Computer Modern ones wherever possible. This is particularly useful to users of the <TT>iso</TT> style as ISO's preferred fonts are Univers, Helvetica and Times Roman (see ``Notes to TC 97 Project Editors on presentation of draft International Standards (DIS)'', probably available from ISO/TC 97 Secretariat).

<P> PS-LaTeX was written by Mario Wolczko of the University of Manchester and copies are available from the Clarkson archive (archive-server@sun.soe.clarkson.edu), the Aston archive (texserver@spock.aston.ac.uk), me (ndn@seg.npl.co.uk) or Mario himself (mario@ux.cs.man.ac.uk). Pre-requisites for running PS-LaTeX are: LaTeX, a PostScript output device and a DVI-&gt;PostScript driver which recognises PostScript fonts (available from the above addresses).

<P> Compatibility The <TT>iso</TT> style detects when it is running under PS-LaTeX and redefines the commands necessary to ensure unchanged output. As a result, an <TT>iso</TT> style file can be run under LaTeX or PS-LaTeX with no alteration.

<P> Style options Style options fall into two classes:

<OL> <LI>Those which add facilities to LaTeX such as vdm and zed. </LI> <LI>Those which change spacings (<code></code> etc) such as a4 and a4wide. </LI> </OL>

<P> The <TT>iso</TT> style can be used with style options of the first variety with only one proviso: some of these styles assume that the document is set in one of 10, 11 or 12 point; the default for <TT>iso</TT> documents is 9 point so the <TT>iso</TT> style masquerades as 10 point for the benefit of these other styles. <BR> <IMG STYLE="height: 2.25ex; vertical-align: 196.59ex; " SRC="img6.png" ALT="
\begin{note}
For LaTeX hackers: this is implemented by setting \verb\vert\@ptsize\vert to
zero.
\end{note}
"> <BR>

<P> A little more caution should be used with the second variety of style option: since both they and the <TT>iso</TT> style change layout parameters, the end result is unlikely to look like either an ISO standard or the type of document promised by the style option. However, there should not be any catastrophic results.

<P> Sources The <TT>iso</TT> style is based on ``Notes to TC97 Project Editors on presentation draft International Standards (DIS)'' and ``Rules for drafting and presentation of International Standards''. It was produced by extensive modification of Leslie Lamport's ``article'' style for LaTeX.

<P> Acknowledgements The author would like to thank Tony Mansfield and Roger Scowen for their patience during development of the <TT>iso</TT> style and their sterling work in testing it.

<P> Author The <TT>iso</TT> style was written by: <BR> Nicolas North, <BR> Division of Information Technology and Computing, <BR> National Physical Laboratory, <BR> Teddington, <BR> Middlesex, TW11 0LW, <BR> U.K. <BR> ndn@seg.npl.co.uk, ...!mcvax!ukc!nplseg!ndn
