Re: [PPower4] how to find out what is wrong with pdflatex's pdf

[Richard . Gill]

Indeed, all I needed was the latest version! [and the courage to install
it myself by hand rather from the package-manager at fink.soureforge.net]

All problems solved, thanks everyone for the advice.

[PPower4] Problem with exm1.tex

[Ming Leung]

I downloaded and installed the latest version of PPower4. I PdFLaTexed the
example file: exm1.tex that came with the package and got the following
error message. What should I do? I am using the latest version of MikTex.
Thanks.

Hello Ming Leung,

Download the foiltex class files again and ensure that all corresponding files 
are on your tex's search path!

Matthias

PS: the foiltex files are available at CTAN, e.g.
ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/nonfree/macros/latex/contrib/supported/foiltex/

When I run PPower4.bat I have the following error message:

Exception in thread main java.util.zip.ZipException: The filename,
directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect
at java.util.zip.ZipFile.open(Native Method)
at java.util.zip.ZipFile.init(ZipFile.java:110)
at java.util.jar.JarFile.init(JarFile.java:115)
at java.util.jar.JarFile.init(JarFile.java:57)

What could be the problem?

This looks like the jar file of PPower4 has been corrupted.
Please compare the size of the downloaded file with the size given on
the PPower4 home page.
