% For LyX, you may need to specify these parameters to run dvips with:
%                 -O 0in,0.6875in
%
% From the command line: dvips -O 0in,0.6875in -o e.ps example-uncc-thesis
% I've also, needed to specify: -O 0in,0in, when running dvips after
% running latex from a LyX exported tex; confused?  Just know, you can adjust
% the page margins during final conversion to the printer or pdf.
%-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
% 
%
% Fixes for version 8/5/11:
%
%     1. Fixes spacing between section and chapter headings and the first line of text.
%         ... now it's two single lines skipped == 3.75ex.
%
% Fixes for version 3/22/11:
%
%     1. Uncommented the 'Under the direction of...' in ABSTRACT.
%
% Fixes for version 3/20/11:
%
%     1. Footnotes do not split to the next page.
%
% Fixes for version 3/19/11:
%
%     1. Spelling: Plural for the word ACKNOWLEGMENTS.
%
% Fixes for version 3/17/11:
%
%     1. Reduced the space after each section in LOF and TOC.
%
% Fixes for version 3/10/11.1
%
%     2. 1.5ex for blank line after TOC, LOT and LOF headings.
%
% Fixes for version 3/10/11:
%
%     1. Single blank line below ABSTRACT
%     2. No dots in table of contents, list of figures, tables.
%     3. UPPERCASE chapters in table of contents.
%     4. Mixed case sections in text.
%        But, the word CHAPTER and its text are UPPERCASE.
%     5. Uniform spacing in TOC, LOF and LOT for all entries.
%
% BUG: When using bable, the table of contents title becomes 'CONTENTS'.
%      And, the word chapter appeared as Chapter and not CHAPTER 
%      in the chapter heading. --- Looks like babel is redefining \chapter.
%      Babel doesn't work well with this style.
%
% BUG: You must place \clearpage or \newpage in your latex doc immediately before
%      \tableofcontents, \listoftables, and \listoffigures.
%
% OTHER PROBLEMS: It seems you can't define \bibname before \begin{documet}.  This
%           is problematic because, I cannot define the default name in this
%           style file.  I get around this problem by creating a new command:
%
%               \thesisbibname{some-new-name}
%
%           Place it somewhere after the \begin{document}.  It redefines \bibname.
%           A good place is immediately before you specify your bibliography.
%           Use it to change the bibliography title from the default: BIBLIOGRAPHY
%
%               \thesisbibname{REFERENCES}
%
%           It IS PLACED in the table of contents for you.
%
%           In LyX, you should turn OFF the 'add to table of contents' in the 
%           settings for the bibliography.  If you're writing LaTeX,
%
%                \bibliography{mybib1,mybib2,...}  % for mybib1.bib, ...
%
%           or
%
%                \thesisbibname{REFERENCES}
%                \bibliography{mybib1,mybib2,...}  % for mybib1.bib, ...
%
%           IMPORTANT NOTE: If you're using the bibliography environment, that is, with
%           \begin{thebibliography} through \end{thebibliography}, then
%           you should run \thesisbibname immediately before the \begin{bibliography}:
%
%                \thesisbibname{NEW BIB NAME}
%                \begin{thebibliography}
%                  ...
%                \end{thebibliography}

%  Default values are shown.
%
%  \logofile{UNCClogo.eps} % Use the EPS file as the logo on the title page.

%  \committeemember{Another person}
%  \committeemember{Last  person} % Maximum of 10 can be specified.
%
%  \advisor{NO ONE}
%
%
% Additional commands for the UNCC dissertation that you place in the appropriate
% location.  They do not take any arguments.  They are un-numbered sections and
% produce the UPPERCASE string of their command name -- based on section style.
% Ex. \dedication produces 'DEDICATION':
%
%     \dedication
%     \acknowledgment
%     \introduction
%
% If you don't like the default for those, then you can specify the section 
% long hand.  You may need to add \pagebreak{} before or after each \section*{...}.
% See what works for you.  For example, \dedication can be replace with:
%
%     \section*{a new dedication title}
%     This is my new dedication text.
%     \pagebreak{}

% UNCC thesis spec. worries about the chapter (or major section -- like a chapter) for
% page margin distances, so LaTeX or (report.cls) parameters should be fine.
% The font and uppercase are required.  Oh, the first paragraph must be indented.

% The UNCC spec. doesn't say whether the section headings must be centered or uppercase, for that
% matter.

% \uppercase doesn't work w/ labels, unless you protect them.  But, I can't figure
% out how to \protect it.  So, don't place labels in the text of the \section definition.
% Place the section label at the beginning of the following paragraph.

%    LEVEL      : a number, denoting depth of section -- e.g., chapter=1,
%                 section = 2, etc.  A section number will be printed if
%                 and only if LEVEL < or = the value of the secnumdepth
%                 counter.
%    INDENT     : Indentation of heading from left margin
%    BEFORESKIP : Absolute value = skip to leave above the heading.  
%                 If negative, then paragraph indent of text following 
%                 heading is suppressed.
%    AFTERSKIP  : if positive, then skip to leave below heading,
%                       else - skip to leave to right of run-in heading.
%    STYLE      : commands to set style
%  If '*' missing, then increments the counter.  If it is present, then
%  there should be no [ALTHEADING] argument.  A sectioning command
%  is normally defined to \@startsection + its first six arguments.
