Dear all,

I have the following message when I try to typeset a document in
Pctex.

! LaTeX Error: File `tcilatex.tex' not found.

I think this might be a package for fonts. Could anyone tell me how to
get it and install it.

Thank you very much.

Tony

No, it's a package for SWP. Your file was typed under SWP I suppose.

I did use both Pctex and SWP to write the article, but neither of them
could properly typeset it. Actually I copy some code for math formula
from another artcile which is not my own. I think I miss some package
from the original author. Could you tell me how to find it and
properly install it?

Thank you very much

Tony,
We're sending you the file tcilatex.tex directly. In Scientific
WorkPlace, it goes in \swp50\TCITeX\TeX\LaTeX\SWmacros. We like to help...
Cheers,

Christopher

If you use SWP, you must have a file tcilatex.sty somewhere in you
hard disk. The simplest way is to copy it in a texmf tree (local tree
will be better) and to refresh the base (I believe that it's with
mktexlsr under windows but I'm not sure).
Other packages will manage in the same way (copy in texmf tree and
refresh).
Don't forget that if you SWP tex file calls graphics, you may have
some problems (SWP manages graphics with its owner way).

Hope that helps.

You'll find tcilatex.tex in a subdirectory of the directory in which
you installed SWP, something like ...\TCITEX\TeX\LaTeX\tci. Just put
it where PCTeX can find it, e.g., in the same place as your tex file.

Alternatively, save your TeX file as Portable LaTeX file, and then it
won't need tcilatex.tex.

I check my hard drive, it does not have the tcilatex.sty file. and I
do not have a directory of \texmf in \swp30 or \pctex32. Exactly how
do I make this thing work. If I use a later version of swp, say,
version 4 or 5, could my problem be solved?

If SWP manages graphics with its owner way, how do I properly include
a graph in main text.

Thanks,
Tony

HI everybody.
I Have tehe same message from miktek 2.9 when I run the file written win scientifi WorkPlace 5.5.
So i just try the following and it works!
I copy the file tcilatex.tex from the direction C:\swp55\TCITeX\TeX\LaTeX\SWmacros(or you just look for it with the finder)to the directory with your file and run it.
I apologize for my english it´s not so good i´m afraid.
