# compileMainfile.sh
#
#   December 2011
#
#   Purpose: compile a .tex file either using latex, pdflatex, or
#               latex=> dvips=> ps2pdf, in silent mode or verbose mode
#   examples
#           compileMainfile myfile.tex          # just latex myfile
#           compileMainfile -d myfile.tex       # latex => dvips => ps2pdf
#           compileMainfile -p myfile.tex       # pdflatex myfile
#
#           add the -q flag for SILENT (or quiet) mode
#           compileMainfile -q myfile.tex
#           compileMainfile -qd myfile.tex
#           compileMainfile -qp myfile.tex
#
# See pgs 249 & 250 of BASH COOKBOOK for examples of getopts- really useful!
