Instructions on dealing with tex files
1. Download all the tex files. They are contained in this archive.
2. Unpack the the archive (on Windows and Mac this should be automatic).
3. Edit the tex file of the chapter you are interested in. Say algebra.tex
4. Run latex algebra.tex, then bibtex algebra and then latex algebra.tex twice.
5. Inspect the result and if OK then email algebra.tex to the address above.
Instructions on using the Makefile (slightly geeky)
Download and unpack the archive as above. Change directory to where you
unpacked the files and on the command line type
        make pdfs
to automatically generate all the pdf files. Similarly, type
        make dvis
to create the dvi files instead.
Instructions on using a version control system (for major geeks)
We are using the git version control system. To clone the project type
        git clone git://paard.math.columbia.edu/var/git/stacks
on the command line. This assumes that you have git installed. See this file
for a git-howto. See this page for the development history of the project.
