+% Thank you to Will Uther who provided the base code that I rolled
+% into this package
+% ChangeLog
+% 1.1: shrunk and shifted the stamp so that it avoid the unprintable
+% area at the top of the page
+% 1.2 dkoes - made it big and rotated and light
+% 1.3 dkoes - made it small, and unrotated since Jonathan Aldrich complained

+% The other requirements Catherine has:
+%
+%  - avoid large margins.  She wants the thesis to use fewer pages, 
+%    especially if it requires colour printing.
+%
+%  - The thesis should be formatted for double-sided printing.  This
+%    means that all chapters, acknowledgements, table of contents, etc.
+%    should start on odd numbered (right facing) pages.
+%
+%  - You need to use the department standard tech report title page.  I
+%    have tried to ensure that the title page here conforms to this
+%    standard.
+%
+%  - Use a nice serif font, such as Times Roman.  Sans serif looks bad.
+%
+% Other than that, just make it look good...
