Hello,

I am having a NOVICE problem invoking SLITEX and decided that over the weekend
I would drop this message off and see if there is anyone out there with 
solutions. I am giving the LATEX error message, the two source Latex files, and
my version of SLITEX.STY so that the question can be answered quickly. I thank
anyone for their help and time.

Sincerely,

John F. Duggan
