This is the HITEC class. As the name implies, it is intended for use on technical documents in hi-tec companies. It is based upon the article class, but it looks VERY different. In fact, one of the design aims was to escape the academic look of the well-known LaTeX document classes. This is a beta version, which means that it works wonderfully for me, and on papers I've downloaded from the web. I believe it's perfectly useful, but it hasn't been widely tested yet. This is my first and probably last time I deal with document classes. I'll be glad to receive bug reports, even though I can't promise to correct them (TeX isn't that easy to deal with). I'll also be glad to receive comments regarding bad TeX style or inconsistencies. Eli Billauer eli_billauer@yahoo.com Oct 17, 2001
