[OS X TeX] [OT] *.sty files included in manuscript.tex?

[Christian Heine]

Chris,
thanks for the prompt reply.

>What style files are you using, your own or standard ones?
Standard ones:
\documentclass[reviewcopy]{elsart}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{natbib}
\usepackage{longtable}
% \usepackage[config, labelfont={rm,bf}, textfont=rm,
font=small]{caption,subfig}
\usepackage[config, labelfont={rm,bf}]{subfig}
\usepackage[right, pagewise]{lineno}

Yes, I uploaded the elsart.sty one (see above) - I found this also very
strange for a publisher who has its own style file.
