You should have the following files, listed on the previous webpage:

• example_2col_conf.tex
• phasor1.eps
• IEEEconf.cls

Commands* used to make the conference paper are:

1. Make a .dvi file from the LaTeX file:
   latex example_2col_conf.tex
2. Do it again, to get the references correct:
   latex example_2col_conf.tex
3. Check it out before going forward:
   xdvi example_2col_conf.dvi &
   I like to run it in background mode, to edit it again if needed.
4. Convert from .dvi to postscript, and make sure it's on letter-sized paper:
   dvips -t letter example_2col_conf.dvi
5. Convert from .ps to .pdf:
   ps2pdf example_2col_conf.ps

* These commands are what you would type from a terminal prompt. There are plenty of front-ends available that provide a nice GUI. I like to use TeXShop on my Mac.
