Strange Reaction from JSCE to TeX Users JSCE officials claimed that my macro could NOT yield proper manuscript so that I stopped distribution of my style files. Although the output using this style file is much more beautiful and appropriate for the Journals than other outputs already published in the Journals from a viewpoint of typesetting quality, they still claim badness of this style file, they keep telling authors to revise the manuscript, and moreover they have not been cooperative to my request for revision. They have never told me, the author of the style file, which part was not appropriate. So that I stopped the distribution.

From July of 2003, the style files including L^ATEX2e version are distributed by the JSCE editorial board. Both an optional style file and an application form in L^ATEXare now available at the Web Page of the editorial board of JSCE.
