The window.sty looks quite nice (I've only just looked at the output
from the example file so far), but before this style lands on an
archive somewhere, please remove the first and last lines.

\makeatletter

This is not so bad, but is not needed.

\makeatother            % disable use of @ as a letter

This is a BUG, as it also disables almost all style options that
appear after window in the \documentstyle command.

David

It is well worth doing a grep (UNIX for search) on your main LaTeX
style directory for \makeatletter. Lots of style files available have
this bug.

\makeatletter or \catcode`\@=11 are not always wrong, but they should
never still be in force at the end of the .sty file.
