We have run into a problem with the lines: \newmathalphabet*{\mtf}{cmr}{b}{n} \newmathalphabet*{\mtt}{cmtt}{m}{n} which originated from Lucerne,Geneva. Here is the error message. $ latex fja361b.tex This is Northlake Convergent TeX, V3.14b-1 (preloaded format=lplain 92.4.8) (_DUB2:[CCG0661]FJA361B.TEX;1 LaTeX Version 2.09 <14 January 1991> (PACKDISK4:[QUBPACK.TEX.TEX3_14B.][INPUTS]ARTICLE.STY;1 Document Style `article' <16 Mar 88>. (PACKDISK4:[QUBPACK.TEX.TEX3_14B.][INPUTS]ART12.STY;1)) ! Undefined control sequence. l.34 \newmathalphabet *{\mbf}{cmr}{b}{n} ? h The control sequence at the end of the top line of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue, and I'll forget about whatever was undefined. ? Here is the section of the file giving the error. %define math alphabets for roman, boldface and teletype \newcommand{\mrm}[1]{\mathrm{#1}} \newmathalphabet*{\mbf}{cmr}{b}{n} \newmathalphabet*{\mtt}{cmtt}{m}{n} %program names \newcommand{\Py}{\mbox{\sc Pythia}} \newcommand{\Je}{\mbox{\sc Jetset}} \newcommand{\PyJe}{\mbox{\sc Pythia/Jetset}} \newcommand{\JePy}{\mbox{\sc Jetset/Pythia}} %some frequent physics symbols \newcommand{\alphas}{\alpha_{\mrm{s}}} \newcommand{\alphaem}{\alpha_{\mrm{em}}} \newcommand{\ssintw}{\sin^2 \! \theta_W} \newcommand{\scostw}{\cos^2 \! \theta_W} \newcommand{\pT}{p_{\perp}} \newcommand{\pTmin}{p_{\perp\mrm{min}}} \newcommand{\br}[1]{\overline{#1}} Perhaps there are files in the archive which we need to pull over? I cannot trace the \newmathalphabet* command in our guides.

They say I need files fac.sty and facguide.tex, to be found on the Aston Tex archive at tex.ac.uk on JANET, in directory [TEX-ARCHIVE.LATEX.CONTRIB.PUBLICATIONS]. I successfully made an anonymous ftp connection from my site (wsinis12.info.win.tue.nl) to tex.ac.uk. Then a cd to directory TEX-ARCHIVE succeeded, however, there was no subdirectory LATEX. There was a directory TEX, but it didn't have a subdir CONTRIB. Question: How can I get files fac.sty and facguide.tex? Kind regards, Paul Rambags. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 20 Apr 1994 13:44:25 -0000 From: P Taylor (Postmaster) Subject: RE: Can't find dir TEX-ARCHIVE.LATEX.CONTRIB.PUBLICATIONS >> Question: How can I get files fac.sty and facguide.tex?
