Resources from theoval.cmp.uea.ac.uk/~nlct

I used to teach LaTeX for staff and postgraduate development courses at the University of East Anglia (UEA) from the late 1990s until the early 2000s. I wrote some supplementary material and provided them on theoval.cmp.uea.ac.uk/~nlct (in fact, it was originally theoval.sys.uea.ac.uk/~nlct when I first started). This was a machine called theoval in the School of Computing Sciences (CMP, formerly the School of Information Systems), at the University of East Anglia.
I also periodically had some short term contracts at UEA, mostly as a research assistant (although I also did some admin work transferring data from an old system to a new one). From time to time I still provide some LaTeX support for staff and developed PASS (Prepare Programming Assignments for Submission System). I am no longer employed by UEA, but I have been awarded honorary status.
Some time after I provided the resources on theoval.cmp.uea.ac.uk/~nlct, the university started retiring school sub-domains in favour of a single campus-wide site. For a while, www.cmp.uea.ac.uk redirected to uea.ac.uk/cmp but cmp.uea.ac.uk is no longer recognised.
At the time of writing, theoval.cmp.uea.ac.uk still exists but is not guaranteed to continue to exist for much longer.
The following is a list of theoval URLs with new locations or closest matching resources.

I developed textbooks from my teaching materials, which can be viewed online: LaTeX for Complete Novices (beginners), Using LaTeX to Write a PhD Thesis (writing a report or thesis), and LaTeX for Administrative Work (correspondence, repetitive tasks, such as mail merging, invoices, CVs, presentations). For these and other documents, see the Dickimaw LaTeX Books and Articles page.

- For class files and packages, most of mine can be found on
CTAN.
For UEA-specific classes, if you are a lecturer, the
ueaexam class is now on Overleaf.
Contact Professor Gavin Cawley for further information about
staff LaTeX resources. If you are a student, a very old version
(2010/10/21 v1.02) of cmpreprt.cls is
available. This is just a simple wrapper that loads the
article class. The commands are:
\ccode{}(eg\ccode{CMP-101}),\supervisor{},\numwords{}, and\regnum{}. These behave like\authorand\titleand should be used before\maketitle. Check with your lecturer for any guidelines as this class may now be out of date. (I have only been able to find the derived file cmpreprt.cls, not the original DTX and INS files.)
