<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi, folks -- </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I've run into a problem getting an installation of the slide
package foiltex to run -- latex seems to be unable to find the class file, even
thought it's where it should be (in a similar path as other packages that are
running, Program Files\TeXLive\texmf-local\tex\latex\foiltex\) I'm
using a slightly older version of LaTeX2e as you can see, but foiltex is
supposedly OK with any latex version beyond 1996. I get the same logs
whether I run from the command line or via TeXShell32:</FONT></DIV>
