Converting from LATEX 2.09 to LATEX2e

Converting documents from LATEX 2.09 format to LATEX2eformat is fairly simple. The primary differences are that the \documentstyle command has been replaced with the \documentclass command and that outside packages are included with the usepackage command. Another change is that the commands such as {\tt} have been superseded by the commands of the form \texttt{}. LATEX2ealso added the \textsuperscript command for use in normal text as an alternative to using math mode to generate superscripted text. See Section 12 for several additional sources of information which are useful in converting documents.
