This is a modification by me of the modification by Chris Martin of the UC Thesis documentstyle from the Central TeX Archive Network. Chris has more details on the starting material.
I converted Chris's LaTeX 2.09 document style to a LaTeX2e document class, and also made the following changes, all of which are clearly marked with "%%" comments in the class files:
If you start a chapter, section or whatever with, e.g., \chapter[short title]{long title}, "long title" will go in the chapter heading and the table of contents, but "short title" will go at the top of the page. (The default is for "short title" to go in the table of contents as well.) (I did not make this modification to \part)
It's not a modification, but in the same vein, typing \caption[short caption]{long caption} will put "short caption" in the list of figures and "long caption" in the body of the paper. (This should come in handy for those of us who follow the Jim Hartle school of figure caption composition.)
Chapter numbers are in roman rather than arabic numerals.
Equations are numbered by section, e.g, (I.2.3) rather that (I.36)
Any of these changes should be pretty easily reversible.
Here are the files. I provide them without warrantee, etc. and with the warning that they consist of layered kludges. They worked for my dissertation, but of course you should check that everything, especially the margins, comes out right for you.
