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

To build 'manually,' (on windows) execute

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

On linux install texlive-latex-extra and run:
make

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

On Debian/Ubuntu install:
texlive-latex-extra
