| Proceedings and Other Multiauthor Volumes - Using LaTeX2e |
| We want to add hyperlinks to your manuscript in the online version, so we recommend the use of LaTeX2e for the preparation of your camera-ready manuscript, together with the corresponding Springer class file - llncs2e.zip contains: |
| (i) llncs.cls, Springer class file; |
| (ii) llncs.dem, sample input file, you can use it as a source for your own input; |
| (iii) llncs.doc (actually a TeX file), the documentation of the class, with detailed instructions on how the macro package works; |
| (iv) llncs.dvi, DVI resulting out of llncs.doc. |
| Please download llncs2e.zip. |
| Proceedings and Other Multiauthor Volumes - Using LaTeX |
| If you are not able to use LaTeX2e you may use our old macro package for LaTeX. |
| Please download llncs.zip. |
| Proceedings and Other Multiauthor Volumes - Using Plain TeX |
| If you are not able to use LaTeX2e you may use our old macro package for Plain TeX. |
| Please download plncs.zip. |
| Proceedings and Other Multiauthor Volumes - Sample File |
| We also provide the LaTeX2e source file of the "Authors' Instructions," which may serve as a further sample input. typeinst.zip contains a separate LaTeX file for the text and EPS file for the figure. |
| Please download typeinst.zip. |
| Proceedings and Other Multiauthor Volumes - Using Microsoft Word |
| We do not encourage the use of Microsoft Word, particularly as the layout of the pages (the position of figures and paragraphs) can change between printouts. However, we do provide the relevant templates and sample files for PC (sv-lncs.dot) and Mac (sv-lncs) environments. Please read the explanatory sv-lncs.pdf carefully. |
| Please download word.zip. |
| Proceedings and Other Multiauthor Volumes - Using Framemaker |
| Please follow our "Author Instructions" closely in order to make the volume look as uniform as possible. |

| Proceedings and Other Multiauthor Volumes - Using Other Packages |

| Monographs - Using LaTeX2e |
| We strongly suggest using current LaTeX2e for your Monograph. |
| Please download the basic LaTeX package SVMono and check the readme.txt file first. |
| Please download svmono.zip. |
| Monographs - Using old LaTeX 2.09 |
| If you are not able to use current LaTeX2e you may use our old macro package for LaTeX 2.09. Please use CLMono01 for LaTeX 2.09, part of the CLMoMu01 package. |

| For old LaTeX 2.09 and plainTeX users we recommend using the style files psfig.sty (available at ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/nonfree/graphics/psfig/psfig.sty) or epsf.tex (available at ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/systems/knuth/local/lib/epsf.tex). |
