I appologise for quoting so much in this E-Mail, but I'd like to give the PPCHTeX readers the complete text. Hallo Jörg, > I am using MikTeX 1.20 beta and I want to use ppchtex under LaTeX. > When I am searching for ppchtex, I find different versions on > different servers. For example the zipfile at the ConTeXt Website > seems to be a older version. This depends upon the server. The newest files are on http://www.pragma-ade.nl (dated 11th of April) > In most packages there is no ppchtex.tex In teTeX I do have ppchtex.tex; I don't know which texmf you use though. (Before I switched to Linux I used to use ``Web2c for Win32'' alias ``fpTeX'', which should be approx. identical to teTeX, but I don't know miktex.) > file included, but during compilation LaTeX is asking for it. > What means historical for the m-chemie.sty and m-chemical.sty, should Well the name is historic. m-chemie.sty is equivalent to m-ch-nl.sty and m-chemical.sty to m-ch-en.sty. > I use the newer m-ch-de.sty? Well when you use German command names (as you do) you should. > And why don´t you say so in the manual? Well in the manual there is: ,,The used language depends upon which file is loaded: Dutch: m-ch-nl = m-chemie.sty English: m-ch-en = m-chemic.sty German: m-ch-de'' (Ok this is only quite correct, I have m-che-* in my manual. This should be fixed.) > My LaTeX document is very simple, but it don´t work. It doesn't help you, but with the current version of teTeX it works. > \documentclass{article} > \usepackage{m-pictex} > \usepackage{m-ch-de} > > \begin{document} > \stellechemieein[achsen=an,rahmen=an] > \startchemie > \chemie[SIX,B,R,RZ][1,2,3,4,5,6] > \stopchemie > \end{document} > > The compiler produce the following Log-file.

This should be solved in the more recent versions of PPCHTeX. Can you please try whether a new version works.
