I have a file nn.tex that I pulled off some newsgroup awhile ago that
begins with the line
\documentstyle[amstex,mssymb,12pt]{article}
When I try to LaTeX it, I get the result below. What is wrong and
how can I fix it? (Unfortunately I have lost the name of the person who
originally produced the file.) I know quite a bit about TeX but very
little about LaTeX or AMSTeX. Please e-mail responses since I don't
usually read this newsgroup. Thank you.
