[CDD Subversion Commit]

Author: tille
Date: Fri Oct 31 11:20:25 2008
New Revision: 1182

Added:
   projects/med/trunk/papers/09_osehc_porto/narrow.sty
Modified:
   projects/med/trunk/papers/09_osehc_porto/debian-med-bio.tex
   projects/med/trunk/papers/09_osehc_porto/paper-text.tex
Log:
Some formating changes: Use a4paper and more narrow list environments - IMHO lists in LaTeX have in most cases to large line spacing - we nearly reached the 10 pages limit now.
