[comp.sys.next] LaTeX: book.sty

flynn@pixel.cps.msu.edu (Patrick J. Flynn) (12/18/89)

Has anyone noticed that the book.sty file in the 1.0 TeX distribution
isn't TeX source?  When I tried to run a chapter of my dissertation
(which uses the book style) through LaTeX, it complained.  Here's the
first few lines (I removed a blank line):

>% book.sty 26-May-89
>LATEST VERSIONS OF FILES -- LaTeX Version 2.09
>ADDENDUM.TEX  27 Apr 89    ARTICLE.DOC/STY   16 Mar 88   LATEX.BUG  24 May 89
>IDX.TEX       22 Jan 85    ART10.DOC/STY     22 Dec 87   LATEX.DIF  28 Apr 88
>LABLST.TEX     5 Jan 85    ART11.DOC/STY     22 Dec 87   LATEX.INS  20 Sep 88

For comparison, here's the first few lines of book.sty from
labrea.stanford.edu.

>% book.sty 13-Nov-89
>\typeout{Document Style `book' <24 Nov 89>.}
>\def\@ptsize{0} \@namedef{ds@11pt}{\def\@ptsize{1}}
>\@namedef{ds@12pt}{\def\@ptsize{2}} 
>\@twosidetrue \@mparswitchtrue \def\ds@draft{\overfullrule 5pt} 
>\@options
>\input bk1\@ptsize.sty\relax

I replaced the original book.sty with the labrea version.
Things seem to work all right with that change.

See ya -- Pat
