In order to extract the LaTeX source files for the theses, download the compressed archived file to an appropriate subdirectory. Then, uncompress the file by entering "gunzip FILE.tar.gz" where "FILE.tar.gz" is the name of the downloaded file. Next, unarchive the files by entering "tar xf FILE.tar" where "FILE.tar" is the uncompressed file. Once the files have been extracted, you can create the thesis as a .dvi file by entering "make" or a .ps file by entering "make ps".
