Hi, it's me again. The grouch of LaTeX propriety.

Remember what I said? Something along the lines of "you don't want to
put anything in the LaTeX file which gives visual information?" Well
doublespace.sty is a horrible violation of this rule, and what's more,
the results it gives are *shitty*. Try putting a quotation into single
spacing sometime using it. Hmm isn't the space on one side of the quotation
a bit off?

Things like this are properly part of the document style and, let me add,
are not a too trivial addition. I am developing a sample style, paper.sty
which will meet the requirements for the formatting of a typical 
undergraduate paper which I promise I will post as an example of how to
do this to this list. 

-dh

P.S. Anyone caught putting \begin{single}..\end{single} into a document
directly will be ferruled three times for each occurrence of that 
environment.
