I just made small changes to the original "slides" file, the most 
important one being changing to landscape and shrinking the margins

===============================
So the slides look like:

#
# Lout file
#
@SysInclude { math }
@SysInclude { tbl }
@SysInclude { diag }
@SysInclude { slides }

@OverheadTransparencies

@Title { " " //  New Stuff (2009) //
      { @Centre 8.0c @Wide @Scale { 0d @Rotate @IncludeGraphic 
"./escargot.eps" } }
      }
    @RunningTitle { New Stuff 2009 }
    @Author { David Duffy }
    @Institution { Genetic Epidemiology Laboratory, QIMR}
//
#
# Slide 1
#
@Overhead
    @Title { Things to do }
@Begin

@CD {
@BulletList
  @LI { Multithreading via OMP: probably 3-4 fold speed improvement }
  @LI { GLMM VC linkage analysis }
@EndList
}

@End @Overhead
