%  DESCRIPTION
%
%  This style option provides the macro \Chapter. It requires the style
%  book (report works as well :-)
%
%  The first argument is typeset in a \parbox on the right top of the
%  chapter page, using an \emphasized font.  The second argument is the
%  chapter's title.
%  An optional argument between, corresponds to the optional argument of
%  the \chapter command. Thus
%
%    \Chapter{<quote>}{<title>} or \Chapter{<quote>}[<abbrev>]{<title>}
%
%  are both valid constructs.
%
%  Two new dimension counters, \fancychapwidth and \fancychapsep handle
%  the width of the quote's \parbox, and it's distance to the begin
%  of the `Chapter X' mark, respectively. See the EXAMPLE below to `grok'
%  how things work. Please note that the real distance between quote
%  and `Chapter X' mark is actually \fancychapsep + 50pt, as the latter
%  is always inserted, before a chapter starts. You could simply use
%  negative values (e.g. \fancychapsep=-50pt) to get around this, but
%  you shouldn't do, unless you're a fan of \uglychapters ;-)


% Some new dimensions...
\newdimen\fancychapwidth
\newdimen\fancychapsep

% ... and their defaults
\fancychapwidth=0.5\textwidth
\fancychapsep=10pt

% the \Chapter ...
\long\def\Chapter#1{\cleardoublepage
   \thispagestyle{plain}%
   \global\@topnum\z@

   \@afterindentfalse
   \hfill\parbox{\fancychapwidth}{\em #1}	% put quotation in a box
						   % flushed right
   \vspace{\fancychapsep}\par			% add distance to chapter head
   \secdef\@chapter\@schapter}

% That's all folks.
\endinput
