All except qua.tex use the style option file "myformat.sty". This
contains some simple macro definitions and sets style parameters. You
can easily edit it to change the paper size (the default is European
paper, "A4" or 21 x 29.7 cm).

To format a document, run latex on it, twice, to get the forward
references right, then use dvips and lpr to print it, e.g.:
There's a Makefile to call latex and other utilities (makeindex and
bibtex) in the right order and the right number of times. This will
produce dvi files for each document made; to preview them, use xdvi.
Printing depends on local conventions; at my site, I use dvips and
lpr. For example:
latex lib
latex lib
dvips lib | lpr
Before calling dvips and lpr, you should really preview the dvi file,
e.g.
xdvi lib
The qua document (which is not user documentation but a somewhat more
abstract review of Python and some work for which it was used) needs
a little more work:
latex qua
latex qua
bibtex qua
latex qua
dvips qua | lpr
make ref # creates ref.dvi
xdvi ref # preview it
dvips -Ppsc ref | lpr -Ppsc # print it on printer "psc".
