Guenter,
Thanks. I'll have to have a look at that, hopeful soon(ish). The only
possible problem is that the Elsevier class doesn't implement the
\maketitle command. Hopefully however, it should be relatively easy to
apply it.
As for only referring to the parts in the article layout file, I agree, it
shouldn't be hard.
If you'd like a copy of the files let me know, and I'll forward them. At
the moment, they do allow you to produce a working latex Elsevier file.
