Course Notes, Spring '00
Most of the slides shown in class will eventually show up here
in several formats:
Portable Document Format (pdf), Postscript (ps)
either 1-to-a-page or 4-to-a-page,
and the original Powerpoint (ppt).
If your web browser is configured properly,
clicking on a link should bring up a suitable viewer that shows you the slides
on screen.
If you want to print the slides, I suggest the 4-up format.
I print them by cd-ing to this directory,
/afs/cs.cmu.edu/academic/class/15462/web/notes,
and running, for example, "gunzip <intro.4.ps.gz | lpr".
The PDF files yield the most reliable results (fewest portability problems).
gs works better than ghostview on the Postscript files.
The dates shown are the dates of last significant revision.
