If you can't be bothered to install a LaTeX system on your machine, you could always use an online system: Overleaf.com (free plan, for the moment)

    Last made using MikTeX2.9 on Win7.
    Build profile should be tex -> pdf (because pstricks package is no longer used).

    To build 'manually,' execute

    pdflatex.exe -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode -shell-escape bierbook.tex

    pdflatex.exe -synctex=1 -interaction=nonstopmode -shell-escape seshbook.tex

    Due to the way LaTeX works out table column witdths, these commands may need to be run several times until a stable output is produced.

    The design of these files is intended to confine all changes year to year to the names.txt and dates.txt files, thanks to LaTeX's capability to read an external file and iterate through line by line performing the same action for each name.

    packages needed (LaTeX) are:
    geometry
    fancyhdr
    tikz
    booktabs
    tongtable
    multirow
    tocloft
    yfonts
    anyfontsize
    ifthen
