Mike If you, Or Tim, are using a non-standard output routine that uses a dimen called \footheight, it is surely not much trouble for you to add \newdimen\footheight to the definition of the output routine. That does not mean that all the other thousands of LaTeX users should have one of the very limited dimen registers wasted by being allocated but never used. David
