Bug#344919: teTeX 3.x incompatible to older .sty files



Yes, I can guess which decision was made. :)
I will try get the OSA to change their style file. That might save some scientists who use teTeX a lot of trouble. But, since it's an important issue, I suggest to mention this in the documentation or the FAQ. Something like the following would have been very helpful to me when I encountered this problem:
Q: I chose dvi mode but only a pdf was created. What's wrong?
A: Some style files use a wrong test to determine whether pdf or dvi is to be created. Look for "\pdfoutput" in your style files. ... [the rest could be taken from the explanation here: http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=ifpdf]

Tilman
