corrupt the master template) and use sed to substitute the good stuff for
the placeholders. Depending on what the good stuff looks like, you might
have to escape a character here or there.
Paul,
I think this is fundamentally the same approach Todd used.
Almost, except I was using [La]TeX variables so that you do not have to modify
the template file, just the variable defining file.
