Say, are you guys aware that there's now a resume.sty, written by
Stephen Gildea? It doesn't seem to be listed in /mit/sipb/tex/macros.
I have some problems with it, but I'll bet you could use it to make a
new /mit/sipb/prototype/resume.tex that first time users will have a
much easier time figuring out.

I seem to recall hearing some SIPB member mumbling about somebody on
the net taking our resume.tex stuff, turning it into a .sty file, and
releasing it to the world-at-large without crediting SIPB. Is this
the same person and .sty file?

I don't think so. Here is Gildea's file--it doesn't seem to have much
in common with ambar's:

% about the employer. It does NOT start a new paragraph, must
% NOT be followed by \location, and always forces a new line after itself.

% This prints the date flush left.
% The major shortcoming of this file:
% There needs to be an option to print the date in the left margin,
