\title{The {\tt rfc} Style}

The {\tt rfc} style is a modification of the \LaTeX\ {\tt article}
style that produces documents in the format of Internet RFCs. It
includes several new commands that define fields required for RFC
headers, and then generates a document header and page headers and
footers that follow the RFC format.

The {\tt rfc} commands are:
\begin{description}
\item[{\tt \\rfcnum\{ \}} :] specifies the number of this RFC.  the word
``DRAFT'' can be substituted for draft RFCs.
\item[{\tt \\pubdate\{ \}} :] defines the publication date to be printed in
the RFC headers.
\item[{\tt \\title\{ \}} :] specifies the title of the RFC.
\item[{\tt \\author\{ \}} :] gives the RFC author.
\item[{\tt \\address\{ \}} :] gives the author's address.
\item[{\tt \\maketitle} :] generates the RFC header on the first page.
\end{description}
\newpage
Using {\tt rfc} requires simply that {\tt rfc} be specified in the
list of {\tt .sty} files, and that the commands in the list above all
be filled in.  For example, the following is extracted from a draft
RFC:

\begin{verbatim}
     \documentstyle[12pt,rfc]{article}

     \author{R. Droms}
     \rfcnum{DRAFT}
     \address{NRI}
     \pubdate{November, 1989}
     \title{Dynamic Host Configuration}
