Added ref and qua; forget about the Makefile

This directory contains the LaTeX source to the Python documentation.
The documentation is not all finished, but good enough to get you
started.
It is not all finished, but good enough to get you started.
The following are the important latex source files:
The following are the LaTeX source files:
tut.tex A tutorial
tut.tex The tutorial
lib.tex, lib[1-5].tex The library reference
ref.tex The reference manual
qua.tex, quabib.bib Article published in CWI Quarterly
They both read the style option file "myformat.sty".
You can use the Makefile to format, preview and print the documents.
Type "make tut" or "make mod" to preview either document with xdvi.
Type "make print" to print them both (this only works if your print
spooler is set up just like mine...), or "make all" to create postscript
files that you can you can print using your local printing commands.
Type "make clean" to get rid of all the intermediate files produced by
the latex process, and other junk files.
You can just as well ignore the Makefile; all you really need is:
latex tut
latex tut
dvips tut | lpr
and similar for the "mod" document.
All except qua.tex use the style option file "myformat.sty". This
contains some simple macro definitions and sets style parameters. You
can easily edit it to change the paper size (the default is European
paper, "A4" or 21 x 29.7 cm).
To format a document, run latex on it, twice, to get the forward
references right, then use dvips and lpr to print it, e.g.:
latex lib
latex lib
dvips lib | lpr
Before calling dvips and lpr, you should really preview the dvi file,
e.g.
xdvi lib
The qua document (which is not user documentation but a somewhat more
abstract review of Python and some work for which it was used) needs
a little more work:
latex qua
latex qua
bibtex qua
latex qua
dvips qua | lpr
