Done (and thanks!).  The file Phil sent has been cut from this to save some
bandwidth.  It is available by including the command:
 SENDME STY.POSTSCRIPT_TEX
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.edu (FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET). 
Anonymous ftp users of Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8) need to look in the
[.STY] directory to get it.

The following should do everything you require; I just wish Arbortext
would distribute it, so I didn't have to keep sending it to people !

[This is now on FILESERV/Niord, so maybe you won't have to! 8-) -GDG]
