Howdy,

First, it's nice to hear from you. You've been very quiet recently.

You never asked but I like wine better than beer too! :-)

I immediately run into a problem that the scrpage2 package cannot be found. This is the line in Preamble.sty

\usepackage[nouppercase]{scrpage2}

where it is loaded. In fact that package is not part of TeX Live 2020. Please check where it's located in TeX Live 2013 (suppressing a smile, just in case you change that to a case of wine) by running `kpsewhich scrpage2.sty` in Terminal and letting me know what it returns. I also went to CTAN and searched for that package with no result.

Good Luck,
