Hi,

What is the advantage of SliTeX except color handling?

I tried \centering and \begin{center} ... \end{center}.
But both did not work for me.
There must be many occasions that we need centering.  How can I do that?

The LaTeX book description on SliTeX is not really adequate in my
opinion.   I can't even \input any slide file in the root file.
There must be something I do not understand.  What's that?

At U of Illinois, CS dept has a local slide.sty under LaTeX (I mean
it's not invoked by % slitex filename, but by % latex filename).  But it's 
not the standard.  What's the reason of using latex with a local 
slide.sty rather than using the standard SliTeX?

I know a lot of people who have tried to use SliTeX and then given up
the idea of using SliTeX.  They then just have been using the LaTeX
{article} style with \protect\Large for their slides.
