+# An alternate formulation of PDF creation; requires latex format with
+# pdftex. To use this instead of the Acrobat distiller solution, comment
+# out the above .ps.pdf rule and uncomment this rule. This was tested
+# using a pre-release of the teTeX distribution. See
+# http://www.tug.org/tetex/ for more information on getting & using teTeX.
+# This rule avoids creation of the intermediate PostScript files and uses
+# only free software.
