[albatross-users] Albatross 1.0 manual, US Letter

[Brian Brown]

Strange... I had no problems with the pdfs on my MacOSX box using 
acrobat 5... printed great. When I tried to build the manual from 
sources, though, my latex distro was missing one of the .sty files that 
was used to make the manual..
