[pdftex] hyperref.sty and foils.cls

[Steffen Neumann]

Hi,

I am trying to install our customized classfile
(based on foils.cls) on a number of different machines
with varying tex installations.

What I get is 

	(/coda/homes/sneumann/lib/texmf/foiltex/foiltex/foils.cls
	Document Class: foils 1998/08/15 v2.1.3 FoilTeX Class File, Copyright IBM 1995,
	1997,1998
	(/coda/homes/sneumann/lib/texmf/foiltex/foiltex/fltfonts.def)
	(/coda/homes/sneumann/lib/texmf/foiltex/foiltex/foil20.clo)
	
	! LaTeX Error: Command \tablename already defined.
	        Or name \end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.
	! Emergency stop.
	 ...                                              
        l.566 \newnonfloat{table}{Table}

where hyperref is 2000/05/08 v6.70f and foiltes is v2.1.3

Foiltex defines 
	\newcommand\newnonfloat[2]{%
	  \expandafter\newcommand\csname#1name\endcsname{#2}%
	[...]
	  \expandafter\newenvironment{#1*}{\@float{#1}\@starmodetrue}%
	                                  {\end at nonfloat}%
	}
	\newnonfloat{table}{Table}

which evaluates to 
	\newcommand{\tablename}{Table}

and hyperref.sty has a 
	\providecommand\tablename{Table}

in old versions, which seems to break.

To check if hyperref needs an updated version:
Which hyperref.sty are compatible with foils.cls ?
Are the hyperref changelogs available ?


Yours,
Steffen
