Writing tools
\layout Standard

This thesis was written using the instructions from Dave Havatin's PhD disertati
on using LaTeX and the frontend Lyx.
 Dave has excellent instructions on how to use Lyx on windows for a thesis
 or disertation in IEEE for UCCS.
 This thesis has also used NatBib to generate the biography

 says to write a computer science thesis should be in Chicago sytle.
 Check with your advisor.
 The advisor of this thesis and the graduate commitee chair (at the time
 of this thesis writing) both said IEEE.
 The graduate committee chair signs the style sheet complience form, so
 what the chair says is law regardless of what is in writing.
 This thesis was orginally written using Chicago.
 The thesis writer got the book and did extra steps for Chicago style to
 have to redo the style for IEEE.

 style sheets on the Internet interfacing with a bibtex file.
 Bibtex files can be generated using graphical front ends like JabRef found
 at the sourcefore repository.
 The author used JabRef for generating the bibtex file then grabbed the

 IEEEtran style sheet to lower the possiblities of comments on the citation
 style.
 The figures were done in dia and open office's diagram program (diagrams
 were saved in encaslated postscript).

In the option of the author, writing a thesis in Lyx and LaTeX is much easier
 and looks better than writing one in word or openoffice.
 There are better citiation tools, auto-geenration for figures, and less
 chances of a corrupted document.
