+Subject: \newmathalphabet problem in LaTeX
+
+Peter,
+
+We at QUB are presently running TEX 3.14b. We have run into a problem
+with the lines:
+\newmathalphabet*{\mtf}{cmr}{b}{n}
+\newmathalphabet*{\mtt}{cmtt}{m}{n}
+which originated from Lucerne,Geneva.
+
+Here is the error message.
+
+$ latex fja361b.tex
+This is Northlake Convergent TeX, V3.14b-1 (preloaded format=lplain 92.4.8)
+(_DUB2:[CCG0661]FJA361B.TEX;1

+! Undefined control sequence.
+l.34 \newmathalphabet
+ *{\mbf}{cmr}{b}{n}
+? h
+The control sequence at the end of the top line
+of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
+misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
+spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
+and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
+
+?
+
+
+Here is the section of the file giving the error.
+

+\newmathalphabet*{\mbf}{cmr}{b}{n}

+
+Perhaps there are files in the archive which we need to pull over?
+I cannot trace the \newmathalphabet* command in our guides.

+Subject: Can't find dir TEX-ARCHIVE.LATEX.CONTRIB.PUBLICATIONS
+
+Hello,
+
+I would like to submit a paper to a journal called "Formal aspects of
+computing". They say I need files fac.sty and facguide.tex, to be found on
+the Aston Tex archive at tex.ac.uk on JANET, in directory
+[TEX-ARCHIVE.LATEX.CONTRIB.PUBLICATIONS].
+I successfully made an anonymous ftp connection from my site
+(wsinis12.info.win.tue.nl) to tex.ac.uk. Then a cd to directory TEX-ARCHIVE
+succeeded, however, there was no subdirectory LATEX.
+There was a directory TEX, but it didn't have a subdir CONTRIB.
+
+Question: How can I get files fac.sty and facguide.tex?
+
+Kind regards, Paul Rambags.

+
+FTP to your nearest CTAN site (e.g. ftp.tex.ac.uk);
+cd CTAN:
+cd macros/latex/contrib/fac
+
+get what you need.
