% PURPOSE
% =======
% 
% This package provides (re-)definitions of some LaTeX commands 
% that can be useful for the preparation of a paper with 
% the style of the proceeding of symposia sponsored by the 
% International Association of Geodesy (IAG).
%
%
% IMPORTANT NOTES
% ===============
%
% 0- WARNING
%    I have not recently checked the instruction from 
%    the publisher of the proceedings of IAG-sponsored-symposia. 
%    I presume that "official" more refined and 
%    up-to-date "sty" and "cls" files 
%    are now available from the publisher.
%    This package is therefore not as useful 
%    as it was at the time of it's first publication, 
%    but it is pehaps still convenient for some user.
%
% 1 - This file is part of a program (in the meaning specified 
%      by the LPPL- see next point) that includes: 
%					- README.txt
%                   - procIAGssymp.sty (=  this file)
%                   - TestprocIAGssymp.tex (= sample and suggestions)
%                   - TestprocIAGssymp.pdf (= sample and suggestions)
% 2 - The copyright holder of this package is its author.
%     This program may be used, distributed and/or modified under 
%     the conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License.
%     The latest version of this license is in:
%     http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt
% 3 - When this package is used the correspondence between the
%     obtained result and any requirement and prescription
%     must  be judged by the user.
% 4 - The release of this package on CTAN is a personal initiative of 
%     its author. The mention of IAG and of the publisher 
%     of the procedings of the symposia sponsored by IAG does 
%     not imply any involvement of these entities in this initiative.

% The following redefinition of \@maketitle is quite simplified with
% respect to the standard one. The data is not printed; the title is
% not centered and it is in sans-serif style; the author is no longer
% in tabular environment; the author and its address are left justified.
