Ironically, I'm using PdfLaTeX with a customized natbib bibliography package, a large .bib BibTeX bibliography database (most of which isn't needed for this document) and a Palatino font TeX package, plus the report.sty and the report.cls files. The issue of what to put into GitHub is roughly equivalent to the issues associated with package updates on the Linux distribution. In this case, it isn't that any of this is proprietary. Rather, if people who wanted the original .tex file aren't fairly familiar with LaTeX (or, more carefully, PdfLaTeX), they may have an interesting time modifying the document. I won't have time to deal with this in the next week or so. I use my LaTeX configuration every day, so it was much easier and faster for me to write the document with my familiar tools. Plus, I've used TeX for nearly thirty years, so I've got a lot of the TeX macros memorized. Let me think about it. In principle, you're probably correct on what I should do. The problem is I need to return to writing other things, as well as designing and implementing a Monte Carlo algorithm for a simulation (in Ada, of course). Bruce B.
