Greetings Tsuchiya and all,
I use LaTeX2e and friends (almost daily). I do not use the 2.09
compatability mode, but it is my understanding that when "latex"
sees "\documentstyle{<foo>}" instead of the 2e
"\documentclass[bar,platz,goziamazu]{foo}" construction, it loads
the crippled, 2.09 compatable files. I mention this only because you
have not detailed the extent of your difficulties, which would be
off-topic here.
Perhaps I could lend a hand here if you would contact me directly
with a URL to where I could find the style file. I do only English,
so I may not be of much help.
Cheerio! fgd. kl7fhx
