LATEX:	Students might like to typeset lab reports using the free LaTeX system. LaTeX is installed on OwlNet, and should come as part of most standard Linux installations. Mac users should obtain TeXShop. Windows users have two options: Easier: Install MikTeX and TeXnicCenter, an IDE for LaTeX. Harder: Install Cygwin, a free (GPL) Unix environment for Windows. When presented with a list of applications to install, select tetex, tetex-base,tetex-extras under Publishing. A prototype LaTeX lab report report.tex, including a figure sample.eps are provided as examples. Here is what it looks like when compiled report.pdf.
