Maybe the useful answers all came by way of email because this was a somewhat stupid question. But I seem to recall somebody else posting or mailing something indicating that he was equally confused and never got the right answer, so here is a very short summary of the responses. I should have looked at more than just the LaTeX version number; that's independent of the date of the .sty file, which also gets typed out and in my case was 20 Jul 87. There is a newer version that fixes my problem. One respondent says the latest version is 20 Sep 88. I guess you can get up to date stuff from labrea.stanford.edu (directory tex/latex). (Somebody should fix the information in the FAQ and Supplementary TeX information mailings to give the directory as "tex/latex" rather than just "latex". Also, it should be clarified that labrea.stanford.edu has all the basic LaTeX .sty files, while sun.soe.clarkson.edu has only *additional* contributions. And the directory for the latter machine is "pub/tex/latex-style", not "pub/latex-style".) -- Ron Greenberg rig@eng.umd.edu
