+Subject: Filename compatibility between Unix TeX and Mac Textures
+
+I use both unix La/TeX and TeXtures on a Mac. I'd like to be able to
+move input files between the machines without having to edit pathnames
+in \input and \epsfbox commands. Of course, unix uses / and the Mac
+uses : in pathnames. I'd like to be able to say something like
+\platform={unix or mac} in my main file and have a macro that handles
+pathnames appropriately. Has anyone solved this problem? Thanks.

+Subject: AMS-TeX amsppt.sty
+
+I have a question about the use of the AMS-TeX amsppt.sty option:
+
+We have Decus TeX (PD VMS 3.3) on out VMS (5.5-2) machine.
+AMS-TeX is set up as VMS DCL command verb.
+
+When we try and use the amsppt style in AMS-TeX it gags on the i/p file:
+
+\documentstyle{amsappt}
+\document
+.....
+.....
+\enddocument
+
+The error message is:
+ This is TeX, Version 3.1 [PD VMS 3.3/DECUS] (preloaded format=plain 90.8.25)
+ ($1$DIA4:[CSE.0020201S.USERS.0000002E]ELLONE.TEX;33
+
+ AmS-TeX - Version 2.0

+
+ (TEX_ROOT:[INPUTS]AMSPPT.STY;1
+ ! Undefined control sequence.
+ l.109 \footmarkcount@
+ \z@
+ ?
+
+(If one proceeds it also gags on \tenpoint:
+
+ ...more errors with footnote....
+
+ ! Undefined control sequence.
+ \tenpoint ...p 7\p@ plus3\p@ minus4\p@ \textfont@
+ \rm \tenrm \textfont@ \it ...
+ l.487 \tenpoint
+)
+
+Being more used to LaTeX I am baffled by this and would appreciate any help.
+At first glance it seems the style file is incompatible with AMS-TeX, what
+is much more likely, I feel, is that I am missing some definitions required
+before I can use the style files.
+
+Another possibility is that this STY file is incorrect (possibly the
+AMS-LaTeX version overwrote the AMS-TeX one?) I went to download a
+new copy from the archive but the distribution does not indicate which
+files are in the VMS backup archives, so I thought I'd ask first.
+
+(When investigating this problem I was confused by the difference
+between AMS-TeX and AMS-LaTeX. I believe We are using the former.
+From my reading of the documentation with AMS-LaTeX there is no
+amsppt.sty file which could have overwritten the original.)
+
+Thanks, Micheal
