Thought this might be of interest to some folks reading this group.  Here's
a template for the 1993 ICASSP Paper Summary Cover Sheet in LaTeX.  Just
fill in the blanks and print out the form.  No fooling with messy typewriters!

No guarantees that it is *identical* to the cover form.  However, it looks
pretty close.  The only differences I see are the linebreaks on the 
instructions.  That shouldn't be a problem.

Please answer all questions clearly and concisely.
Reviewers will reject papers for lack of adequate information.
Attach this form to a 2 to 3 page summary of your paper
and submit copies as indicated on the Call For Papers. \\

\noindent
{\bf SUMMARY INSTRUCTIONS:}
Authors should prepare a 2 to 3 page summary of their paper, 
including figures and references.  Be complete, but concise. 
The three page limit is a MAXIMUM.  The summary should clearly 
state what is new or novel about the work and give
sufficient detail to enable the reviewers to 
make an informed judgement about the merit of your work. 
All pertinent results that 
demonstrate the utility of the work should be included.  For 
example, in the case of an algorithm, the summary should 
explain what problem the algorithm addresses, give details of 
the algorithm, point out what is new, and compare the new 
algorithm with existing algorithms in terms of quality of 
output, computational complexity, speed of convergence, 
robustness, or other relevant criteria.
