I am using a new eqnarray command someone has provided, and
am reading in "A Not so Short Intro" on how to do this.
The file I want to implement starts with
\makeatletter
\def\eqnalign{%
\stepcounter{equation}%
\def\@currentlabel{\p at equation\theequation}%
and has several \def\name lines, which I take
to be the new commands.
Reading further, I see that "Not so Short..." talks of
\newcommand, but I can't find \def, even in the index.
I am using TexShop, and my first question is, should I try
to modify my tetex files, or keep this as some kind of
macro in TexShop (which I prefer if possible).
On installing packages, I read that I must run latex on the
.ins file and extract a .sty file.
Is that necessary? Can't I just creat a macro in TexShop?
