Document Classes ⇒ Editing an .rtx file: Making my own style file

[MycroftHomlz]

Hi All!

I recently posted something about making an APL style file. I found the document that I need to edit and a friend of mine did some of the work already. Unfortunately, I am a noob, and don't know all of the details.

The issue once again is that the journal has a very strict page limit and the by line and author stuff is killing my ability to see how long the paper is.

The .rtx file is attached. I also wrote a sample document to give us something to work with.

Please take a look and give me hand. Any help is appreciate. Here are the outstanding issues:

1) Space between Author and Affiliations
2) Author and Affiliation Justification
3) Abstract font size and Justification and indenting
4) Citation style: should be superscript numbers
5) Acknowledgments no title

I think this is a start.

Thanks,

MH

This is the .rtx file saved as a .tex file

And here is a .pdf of an APL.
