Hi,
I have googled, looked in the pragma site etc for a template (style)
of an a0 poster. Doing this with latex is a bit of a nightmare and the
result is not very appealing.
I am looking for something in the size of a0 with embedded boxes with
plots, equations etc. If such a file existed and was to be found
somewhere I'd be grateful if you gave me a link.
thanks
