\subsection*{If you have sections, use this style}


\subsection*{Reference style}
Here are two examples of the reference style we are using. 
Experimental evidence supporting
the first hypothesis has been provided by several authors (Rudolph et
al., 1967; Heyman et al., 1977; von Ritter et al., 1988). 
For a precise description of these models we refer to Almeida 
and Gidas (1993).



\subsection*{Figures}

Figures can be included as .ps files. Psfig is an efficient way of
handling postscript files. There are many sources of info about Psfig
on the World Wide Web. If you do not have the psfig.sty file available to you, 
please let me know and I will email it to you.


\section*{Final Steps}

When your paper is in {\bf final} form, please email me the \LaTeX\ file (don't
forget any included .ps files)  and send a hard copy. My mailing address is
Heidi Sestrich, Dept. of Statistics, Baker Hall 232A, Carnegie Mellon
University, Pittsburgh, PA 15213, email is heidi@stat.cmu.edu.


Remember that we are preparing a camera ready copy for
Springer-Verlag. The published paper will look *exactly* the same as the
paper you send me.
