[The rest of the article deleted] Can you tell us where to find setspace.sty? Our university demands double spacing in our theses. The most I could get away was 1 1/2 spacing. I have been using the `simple' method for switching to and from double (1 1/2) and single spacing for 3 years but wish to have a better method. I want to have a double spaced thesis text but single spacing for code fragments, generated by tgrind. Tgrind is not cooperating with the simple method and the spacing is all wrong for my thesis right now. By the way, I don't understand the debate (flame war?) on whether LaTeX or plain TeX is superior. Why the debate? I am confused. I happen to use LaTeX to do my daily formatting chores and TeX to write style files to satisfy our thesis office's requirements. Other people (in Western) will be able to use my set of macros to typeset their theses to follow the same set of rules imposed by the thesis office. Is the style file useless outside Western? Most probably. But the people after me do not have to worry about the format of their theses. Is LaTeX better? No, because I use TeX to write the style file, right? I can't see any problem any where. Keep the newsgroup for both TeX and LaTeX too. I read articles on both TeX and LaTeX. Wish I can read articles on amsTeX and amsLaTeX.
