Thanks, I'll try that first, this is all complecated by the fact that I know *nothing* about TeX of any flavor... :(I know that LaTeX2e isn't 100% compatible with LaTeX 2.09, but I :don't entirely know what the differences are. LaTeX2e added some :commands not present in 2.09, so there's a possibility of a namespace :conflict. I think the other issues can only come up if the author of :the document was a 4th-level TeXpert or higher.) Hmmm. We'll see :0 I setup the laptop in question and rather blindly through all the TeX stuff I could find at it, don't know what that works out to though... :MIT Answer: Up until a couple of years ago, Athena's default latex :installation was based on LaTeX 2.09. So if you can find a Linux box :around with the SIPB installation of Red Hat 4.2/Athena 8.0 on it, it :should have a "normal" LaTeX 2.09. (Then upgrade it to something more :modern!) The AI Lab is it's own creature. We don't use Athena and aren't on 18.0.0.0/8, but thanks for the pointer, if I can't get him going with LaTeX2e I'll check with the SIPB folks. -jon
