% This file can be used with Latex2e whether running in main mode, or
% 2.09 compatibility mode.
%
% If using main mode, you need to include the commands
%             \documentclass{article}
%             \usepackage{nips10submit_e,times}
% as the first lines in your document.  Or, if you do not have Times
% Roman font available, you can just use
%             \documentclass{article}
%             \usepackage{nips10submit_e}
% instead.
%
% If using 2.09 compatibility mode, you need to include the command
%             \documentstyle[nips10submit_09,times]{article} 
% as the first line in your document.  Or, if you do not have Times
% Roman font available, you can include the command
%             \documentstyle[nips10submit_09]{article}
% instead.

% Change the overall width of the page.  If these parameters are
%       changed, they will require corresponding changes in the
%       maketitle section.
