How did it die?  My recollection is that the change from docstyle to
docclass was wonderfully simple, but there wre one or two things to
do.  If I see what happened I might be able to help.  I reiterate:
style files are years out of date, and you will not be able to use newer
stuff.  BTW res.cls is a class file, not a style file.

That directory is all my personal stuff, if it is on your system that
will be very interesting 8-)
