Subject:   Noname and latex vs latex
Message-ID:  <199605091250.HAA14127@astro.acs.uswest.com>

After reading the Word Processor thread, I tried noname. And, of course,
it looked fine but latex failed miserably. I typed this:

This is a test of noname.
 
With no font changes or anything. Running latex produced 113 errors.
 
I know this must be because I have installed latex209 instead of latex2e.
Which I installed so I could create the Handbook (though now I seem to
remember I failed to get that to come out right.
 
Can someone please explain why there are 2 versions of latex that are 
completely incompatable, and why I've spent so much of my geek life
building this monster that doesn't really work?
 
Sorry to vent frustration, I've never had a good experience with TeX.

Paul.
