 i personally
dont like this much. why not with your departmental style file? but
its an interesting point

why not? whats the problem

i think there is a difference between "local", as in "university of
sussex" and "local" as in "Alans hacks". BUT if you choose "sussex"
rather than "local" you should REGISTER the name sussex so that its
unambiguous all over the world. "sussex" is a fair choice, "cs" or
"mathsdept" is not....

with a trailing /mf//, surely?

trailing // please!

hmm. i have about 70 map files....

you lose the choice of using ps2pk?
