Dear fmk,

I need to look at some of *.tex files. I use LaTex to compile them, but I face with a problem. Would you please put a sample folder involving required packages?

[fmk]

Hi,
As told by fmk, the TeX files are not updated. But if still if you are interested, install Texlive (latest version from CTAN.og), install some LaTeX editor (like TexStudio) and then simply compile them. There are more than enough tutorials/guide books available freely on Latex in the internet.
