Subject: Re: re palatine.sty
You, on the other hand, are using LaTeX2e in compatibility mode,
so the underlying LaTeX2e understands the newer version of
Palatino.sty. If your run got at the palatino.sty distributed
with dvipsk (old pre-nfss LaTeX209) you would find that
a different set of errors showed up.
To isolate the two versions of latex follow this recipe from the UnixTeX
distribution. If you need the latex209 files, they are in pub/tex
on osman.classics.washington.edu <128.95.170.63> as latex209.tar.gz
unload them directly into the TEXMF root, not into the tex branch.
[This is TeX3.1415/LaTeX209/NOTE
for users of the Unix TeX distribution.
02 Jul 1994]
To dump and install a format for LaTeX 2.09:
1. In a test directory:
setenv TEXMFROOT /dir/dir/dir/texmf
where "/dir/dir/dir" is replaced by the path
to the texmf installation tree at your site.
setenv TEXINPUTS ${TEXMFROOT}/latex209//
to define the path to the LaTeX 2.09 input files.
initex lplain \\dump
mv lplain.fmt latex209.fmt
mv lplain.log latex209.log
If you wish to dump a format for SliTeX:
initex splain \\dump
mv splain.fmt slitex.fmt
mv splain.log slitex.log
2. Next, place the .fmt and .log files into
${TEXMFROOT}/ini:
mv latex209.* ${TEXMFROOT}/texmf/ini
mv slitex.* ${TEXMFROOT}/texmf/ini
3. Normally, at this point, one would link virtex
to the format name; but because the use of
LaTeX 2.09 requires redefining the TEXINPUTS
environment, we suggest invoking LaTeX 2.09
via a script called "latex209"
A working script will be found in the directory
texmf/latex209/bin
Use this model for SliTeX, and call the script "slitex":
The TEXINPUTS environment is locally reset by the scripts so
that the latex209 tree will be searched for LaTeX 2.09 files
*before* the default inputs tree is searched.
4. Give the scripts read and execute permissions; install them
in the bin directory where your tex executables reside.
If necessary, type "rehash" to make the just-installed
scripts available. You should now be able to type "latex209"
or "slitex", and proceed as usual.
