I have an odd problem with the use of miniboxedpage.

As I understand it should be the same as minipage.

The test document is as follows.

--------------------------------

\documentstyle[a4wide]{report}

\input{boxedminipage.sty}

\begin{document}

\begin{minipage}[c]{10in}
hello
\end{minipage}

\begin{boxedminipage}[b]{10in}
hello
\end{boxedminipage}

\end{document}

-------------------------------

the error I get when I try to run it through latex is as follows

latex header.tex
This is TeX, C Version 3.14
(header.tex
LaTeX Version 2.09 <7 Dec 1989>
(/usr/local/TeX/lib/tex/inputs/report.sty

! Use of \@ doesn't match its definition.
\boxedminipage ->\@if

l.15 \begin{boxedminipage}
                          [b]{10in}
? h
If you say, e.g., `\def\a1{...}', then you must always
put `1' after `\a', since control sequence names are
made up of letters only. The macro here has not been
followed by the required stuff, so I'm ignoring it.

? x
No pages of output.
Transcript written on header.log.


Thanks in advance for any ideas.
