Just trying to avoid annoying the list :-).

Here is the preamble I am currently using - for any more elaborate
posting I'll have to wait until I'm back home.  I brought this one with
me but didn't have time to sort everything out.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{axiom}
\usepackage{ifthen}
\usepackage{fontenc}

% Here we will define some control logic for printing, in order 
% to allow quick switching between using 1 inch margines and 
% smaller margines, while also permitting the user to shrink 
% specified equations in the different cases.  By default we 
% will use the standard pamphlet formatting.

\newboolean{usefullpage}
\setboolean{usefullpage}{false}

% Uncomment this line to use 1 inch page margins:
%\setboolean{usefullpage}{true}

% Here we define control logic for producing a pdf version of 
% the document.  TeTeX 3.0 and up seem to be semi-automatic, so
% using the old 2.x trick in the Maximabook didn't seem to work.

\newboolean{makepdf}
\setboolean{makepdf}{false}

% Uncomment this line to produce a properly formatted pdf 
% document (the main difference is how hyperref is used).
%\setboolean{makepdf}{true}

% The actual ifthen control logic
\ifthenelse{\boolean{usefullpage}}{
   \usepackage{geometry}
   % For different paper sizes or margins adjust the 
   % settings here
   \geometry{verbose,letterpaper,tmargin=1in,bmargin=1in,
             lmargin=1in,rmargin=1in}
   % If we are using the full page, we want to have all  
   % equations full size
   \newcommand\resizeequation[1]{#1}
}{
   % If we are using the normal Axiom mode, we want some 
   % equations to use smaller fonts
   \newcommand\resizeequation[1]{{\tiny #1}}
} 

% These options will change options used for hyperref when 
% pdflatex/pdftex is the generator
\ifthenelse{\boolean{makepdf}}{
  \usepackage[pdftex=true, plainpages=false, colorlinks=true, 
              linkcolor=blue, breaklinks=true, pdfpagelabels, 
              pdftitle={Units and Dimensions in Axiom}, 
              pdfauthor={Clifford Yapp}, pdfsubject={Axiom Units 
              and Dimensions}, pdfkeywords={Axiom, CAS, Computer
              Algebra, Units, Dimensions, Dimensional, Analysis}, 
              bookmarksopen=false, pdfnewwindow=true,
              pdfstartview=FitH, 
              pdfpagemode=UseOutlines]{hyperref}
}{ 
% hyperref calls for dvi file production
  \usepackage[backref=false, colorlinks=false, 
              breaklinks=true]{hyperref}

Don't think so, unless I put one up a while back - I'll check.  What is
involved with getting one?

Cheers,
CY
