How does one go about reading the LaTeX manuals in spm? I have not
used LaTeX before but from my understanding one must convert the *.tex
document to a *.dvi document and then it can be viewed or turned into
a pdf, etc.
I am trying to do this on a redhat linux workstation.
Typing
$ latex name_of_manual.tex
produces hundreds of errors, such as:
[drg@chinook ~]$ latex dartelguide.tex
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)
entering extended mode

It really seems to want the \begin{document} statement, so I added
that to the first line, but then I still get hundreds of undefined
