Compiling and Installation

If the ou-tma.sty file is not provided, and you have, instead, ou-tma.dtx and ou-tma.ins, then follow this procedure:

• Compile the ou-tma package with pdflatex ou-tma.ins. This will create the ou-tma.sty file.
• Compile the ou-tma documentation with:
• pdflatex ou-tma.dtx (repeated several times)
• makeindex -s gglo.ist -o ou-tma.gls ou-tma.glo
• makeindex -s gind.ist ou-tma
• pdflatex ou-tma.dtx (several times again)

The file ou-tma.sty file should be placed in an appropriate location within the TeX directory structure. For example in a directory such as tex/latex/ou-tma.
