Hello all,
I want to prepare a kind of lecture notes. So, I chose to use the book =
or amsbook class. None of these classes offers a suitable layout. As a =
result, first I referred to amsclass.faq. As is suggested there, I =
copied the file amsbook.cls to mybook.cls and used it. I got the =
following error
--------------------- copied from the log file-------
! LaTeX Error: File `mybook.cls' not found.
Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,
or enter new name. (Default extension: cls)
Enter file name:=20
-------------------- copy over------------------
I pressed enter here instead of quitting. So, it went further with a =
long log file. Some sample excerpt are copied below.
My problem: I cannot understand what is wrong with this and how to =
tackle this. I am keeping the file mybook.cls in the same directory of =
amsbook.cls. C:\texmf\tex\latex\amscls
When I copied my texfile into the directory C:\texmf\tex\latex\amscls =
and latexed it, it issued me the following warning=20
LaTeX Warning: You have requested document class `mybook',
but the document class provides `amsbook'.
But it compiled and produced the dvi file correctly.=20
Please help.
