[comp.text.tex] PROBLEM: amsfonts vs. amstex styleoptions

spit@fys.ruu.nl (Werenfried Spit) (05/13/91)

I would like to use LaTeX with the options amsfonts
and amsbsy to be able to use boldmath like in AMSTeX,
and extra fonts and symbols from AMSTeX. According to 
the documentation of AMSLaTeX this is possible. It
leads to some strnge errormessages however: 

* if I first read amsfonts.sty, then amsbsy.sty
  \pmb@@ is undefined
* if I first read amsbsy.sty, then amsfonts.sty
  \noaccents@ is undefined

the problem is solved by using amstex.sty, but this has
some unwanted side effects (for my purposes).

Are there better versions of these styles around? Is 
this a known bug??

Thanks for any help.

\Werenfried

I suspect that you have an old version of these files.

amsfonts.sty should be v1.0a (29-AUG-1990).

In any case you should address problem reports to the address mentioned
in the file header (Tech-Support@Math.AMS.com).
