\begin{abstract}
This is a sample paper.  It provides an
example of a paper written in \LaTeX\ using the ``xconf'' document
style, which does most of the formatting for you automatically.
For more information on what the paper should look like, see
the {\em Guidelines for Authors.}

The title, subtitle (if any), and author go at the top of the page.

\section{A Heading}
This paper shows how to format a paper.  This paragraph is preceded by
an A head, which you specify with the \verb|\section| command.

Paragraphs are separated by a blank line in the source file, which
generates a little white space on output.
The first line of a paragraph is not indented.

\subsection{B Heading}
More text, this time under a second-level heading, also called a subsection.

\section{Conference Information}
The 8th annual Technical Conference on the X Window System will be held on
January 24--26, 1994, at the Boston Marriott Copley Place.  The
conference is sponsored by the MIT X Consortium.

Talks
can range anywhere from 5 to 50 minutes, and video tape is welcome.  Written
papers are not required; however, the conference
proceedings are published as a special issue of {\em The X
Resource\/}
by arrangement between the MIT X Consortium and O'Reilly \& Associates, Inc.
The issue will be available both at and after the conference.  So, this is
an ideal opportunity to reach a large X community, with rapid publication.

\subsubsection{C Heading}
The third and lowest level of defined heading, also called a subsubsection.

\section{Checklist}
Before submitting your manuscript, be sure to check the following.

\begin{itemize}
\item
paper no longer than 18 pages
\item
references at end of paper, not in footnotes
\item
proofread carefully
\item
checked for spelling
\end{itemize}

\subsection{Figures}
Here we leave space for a figure.

\begin{figure}[h]		%'h' for 'here' means don't float figure
\vspace{1.2in}			%space to paste in the figure
\caption{This is the caption.}
\end{figure}

And now back to our text.
I didn't ask to have this particular figure float to the top or bottom
of a page, but you can have floating figures, too.

\subsection{Code Samples}
To typeset a small piece of code, such as the name of a function, use
the \verb|\verb| command, like this: \verb|XOpenDisplay()|.
To include a multi-line code sample, use the {\tt verbatim}
environment, like this:

\begin{verbatim}
    dw = XInternAtom(XtDisplay(top), "WM_DELETE_WINDOW", False);
    XSetWMProtocols(XtDisplay(top), XtWindow(top), &dw, 1);
    XtMapWidget(top);
\end{verbatim}

\biography
At the end of the paper there may optionally be a section giving a short
biography of the author.
