MHB Building thesis or dissertation using package\style code.

[DrWahoo]

The code below is the the main thesis style, know as muthesis.sty;
It is a style to allow Title, Signatures, Dedication, Table of Contents, Main Matter (Chapter and Sections), Biblio., and approval letter. Edit it to your liking; just make sure all the files are containted within the same folder or Latex will return an error. \NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}

The following document class calls the thesis style "muthesis.sty"
You need files in the same folder with appropriate chapters (where your main text goes).
The other entities should be easy to see, if not I can try to justify more.
