they are out of date.  the relevant macros do not appear on y&y tex
distribution discs, i believe, but they can be had (for example) from
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/psnfssx/mathtime

you also need the .tfm and .pfb files from the distribution of the
mathtime plus fonts.

you don't say which tex system you're using, so i can't be definite.  it
may be that your system already has the macros, etc., for the mathtime
fonts as an installable package.  otherwise, please look at

for guidance about installing.

don't know about this, i'm afraid.
