Writeups

If you click on the PS between parentheses, you will get the PostScript version. The size of the corresponding compressed file is indicated in each case. The HTML3 link points to a HTML3 DTD version of the document. You will need a browser like Arena in order to view them profitably, although the non-mathematical part is all right with Netscape of MS Explorer.

Old Long Writeups (scanned from originals)

It is advisable to view the PDF version and print from Acroread (you might otherwise encounter difficulties with the PostScript version and GhostScript). Be aware also that the files contain bitmaps of scanned page images and can be quite large (and thus can take a long time to transfer over a slow connection).
