Error - ! can be used only in preamble
If you get the following error:
LaTeX error. See LaTeX manual for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.
! Can be used only in preamble.
\@latexerr ...for immediate help.}\errmessage {#1}
l.23 \documentstyle
[vi,12pt,tgrind]{mitthesis}
the most probably cause for this error is that you are using a very
old (and latex2.09) version of the mitthesis class. You can get the
right version by typing:
attach thesis
cp /mit/thesis/tex/mitthesis.cls .
Then, you'll probably want to change your main.tex from
\documentstyle{mitthesis}
to
\documentclass{mitthesis}
Then try latexing again.
