Generating a "Report", the LaTeX step.

Now we can leave Lifelines and go to a terminal window. We can cd to /home/drw/llines where we have been parking stuff and a ls -l shows us

drwxr-xr-x    2 drw      users        4096 2003-10-03 11:09 aa
drwxr-xr-x    2 drw      users        4096 2003-10-03 16:22 ab
-rw-r--r--    1 drw      users          40 2003-10-03 20:06 key
-rw-r--r--    1 drw      users        8753 2003-10-03 19:58 raw.tex
-rwxr-xr-x    1 drw      users       19417 2003-10-03 11:07 waud.ged
-rw-r--r--    1 drw      users          40 2003-10-03 16:22 xrefs

where, in particular, we see waud.ged my own database, and raw.ltx, the LaTeX file we just generated (from that waud.ged database).

We now run latex raw.tex, makeindex raw, latex raw.tex and latex raw.tex (extra passes to sort out index rerferences) to end up with a raw.dvi file.

You can view this with xdvi or print it by converting it to Postscript with dvips
