Modifying CDF 4152

To modify CDF Note 4152, first get a copy of the relevant latex files and edit them. Then send the latex to current editor of the note (wdd@fnal.gov).

The latex files can be downloaded using the following links.
[data_format.tex] (This one includes all the other files. If you want to run latex on one section, copy this file and edit it to include only the file of interest)
[Sect_Introduction] - [Sect_Event_Record_Banks] - [Sect_Raw_Data] - [Sect_Common_Banks] - [Sect_QIE_Data_Format] - [Sect_TDC_Data_Format] - [Sect_SVX3_Data_Format] - [Sect_Calorimeters] - [Sect_Central_CAL_Shower_Max] - [Sect_Plug_Shower_Max] - [Sect_Error_ShowerMax.tex] - [Sect_EMTD] - [Sect_HADRON_TDC] - [Sect_LEDD] - [Sect_Laser] - [Sect_SVXII] - [Sect_L00] - [Sect_ISL] - [Sect_MUON] - [Sect_COTD] - [Sect_CTMD] - [Sect_CTAD] - [Sect_TOFD] - [Sect_CLC] - [Sect_FD] - [Sect_TMSD] - [Sect_Trigger_Banks] - [Sect_TMPD] - [Sect_Calibration] - [Sect_Calib_ShowerMax] - [Sect_LEDC] - [Sect_Calib_COT] - [Sect_SiCalib] - [Sect_References]

The note editor should do the following to update the note. First log into one of the central LINUX machines, then update the latex files (located in directory /cdf/www/internal/upgrades/computing/data_format/tex), then execute the following steps: 

cd /cdf/www/internal/upgrades/computing/data_format/tex
latex data_format
latex data_format
latex data_format
dvips -o data_format.ps data_format
Then post the resulting postscript file in the CDF Note repository in the normal way.
