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
Document Style `report' <13 Nov 89>.
(/usr/local/TeX/lib/tex/inputs/rep10.sty)
(/usr/local/TeX/lib/tex/inputs/titlepage.sty))
(/usr/local/TeX/lib/tex/local_inputs/a4wide.sty
(/usr/local/TeX/lib/tex/local_inputs/a4.sty)) (boxedminipage.sty) (header.aux)
Overfull \hbox (313.11375pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 7--10
[]$[]$
! Use of \@ doesn't match its definition.
\boxedminipage ->\@if
nextchar [{\@iboxedminipage}{\@iboxedminipage[c]}
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.
