I have about 6000 files using a times.sty style option. Originally times.sty was my own hacky extension of NFSS. I then replaced it with spqr's PSNFSS. Significantly, changes to the LaTeX system could be made without altering the contents to the document. Although the interface has changed slightly with NFSS2, nevertheless most documents can be processed unchanged except for the style options line. So it seems undesirable to change a document just because a style name has changed. Dean Ayres AEA Technology Winfrith Dorchester Dorset DT2 8DH United Kingdom Tel + 44 305 251888 Fax + 44 305 202044
