Name of contribution: Update: Stellenbosch thesis and other utilities - 07
Author's name: Danie Els

Summary description: Typesetting dissertations, theses and reports of the
University of Stellenbosch, South Africa.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The usthesis class/style files are provided to typeset reports, theses
and dissertations that conform to the requirements of the Engineering

Usthesis is primarily concerned with the formatting of the front matter
such as the title page, abstract, etc. and a decent page layout on A4
paper. It also works together with the babel package to provide language
options to typeset documents in Afrikaans or in English.
Additional packages are provided for bibliographic matter, note
title pages, lists of symbols, as well as various graphic files for
logos.
CHANGES FROM 06:
USthesis: v4.0
a) Fix errors in report title page
b) Move all language specific commands to external files
c) Comply with University requirements
- Change declaration page
d) Update documentation
e) Fix ifpdf error in usthesis.cls
USnomencl: v1.1
a) Add UnitLine command to type lines with unit declarations
Thesis templates:
a) Change templates for new options in memoir class
b) Remove unnecessary packages
