Now a bit on it!

So I ranted about my mentor instead of discussing the K grant preamble. Sorry.

What I wanted to discuss is that I had to add a package called parcolumns, which requires processkv.sty as well. The instructions for parcolumns doesn't say that, but if you read the style file it does. Plus, attempting to compile without it throws an error (but only 1/4 times?). Anyway, added it to get a small section to have multiple columns. I thought this was built into LaTeX, but apparently it isn't. I really appreciated it with beamer.cls. You certainly do need it for slides. Anyway, works great, except I still am not able to get pdfsync to work correctly. Perhaps it is the nih2.cls causing the problem, I don't know and certaily don't have time to figure it out right now. Installed twiki on the alpha. Don't have time to configure it just yet. Will have to wait another 13 days. Back to work!
