Does what you've discussed about it vanishing from LaTeX2e mean that I'll have to edit each and every one of those *.tex files if i need to reproduce *.dvi files? Most of those *.dvi files were discarded after the paper got published, and reprint requests are filled via copies of the *.tex file in most cases. What other such compatiblity bombs are lurking out there? ************************* Phil Parker Internet: pparker@twsuvm.uc.twsu.edu Math. Dept., Wichita St. Univ.
