I'm submitting a latex document to a journal, and I'm not supposed to include any files other than my latex file and my eps figures.
have you written to them and said something like:
"is it OK to also send in a .sty file to conform to your bibliography format? and if i can't, please tell me how to conform to your format"
before giving up on that, you should definitely ask...
Well, like many nerdy engineers, I tend to use real human interaction as a last resort :-) But I did do so now and am waiting for a response.

Is there any way to include that information in my latex file? I tried just pasting it in at the top of my document, but I get errors. Clearly, there is syntax for sty files that is not permitted in latex.
it's possible, but not that i know of. my own pete_macros.sty is just a bunch of macros i've written and placed in $TEXINPUTS so \usepackage can find it.
are you sure you pasted it after \documentclass but before \begin{document}?
Most definitely, but my problem was with any [EMAIL PROTECTED] By Micah's suggestion to look around on comp.text.tex, I found my answer almost immediately in a tex-faq. You have to wrap sections that contain these commands with \makeatletter and \makeatother. For example:
\makeatletter [pasted in from foo.sty] \makeatother
This is actually discussed in the "Latex Companion" on pages 15-16, but I didn't realize it until now. So my problem is solved!
