Greetings-
We have just installed newer versions of TeX and LaTeX on our Sun
network and we've noticed a problem with writing letters using the
LaTeX style file. I appears that the new version does not place
any vertical space between the \closing and the \signature for
a person's handwritten signature. We take the same file and run
it through our old LaTeX and it works as expected.
I have also seen the problem in the C TeX version that is on the
ATARI ST using the same style file.
Here are the version statements from the OLD stuff:
--------------------------------------------------
This is TeX, Version 2.0 for Berkeley UNIX (preloaded format=lplain 87.2.1)
LaTeX Version 2.09 - Released 19 April 1986
Document Style 'letter'. Released 21 July 1985
Here are the new version numbers:
--------------------------------
This is TeX, C Version 2.95 (no format preloaded)
LaTeX Version 2.09 <4 Aug 1988>
Document Style 'letter'. Released 21 July 1985
Can someone please tell us how to solve this problem? Do we need a newer
style file, a patch or what?
Many thanks!

I get the same problem last summer with old letter.sty -file and new version LaTeX. Timo Suhonen -- Timo Suhonen suhonen@tukki.jyu.fi Disclaimer: The text above is from my left brain cell.
