Hi Hans, I had a problem to compile an old 'followtokens' code (MKII). It seems to me there is a bug in the current supp-mps.tex. Please, can you correct it? Instead of: \def\includeMPgraphic#1% {\executeifdefined{\@@MPG#1}} it works: \def\includeMPgraphic#1% {\executeifdefined{\@@MPG#1}\gobbleoneargument} Best wishes Vit

Hi, there is a bug in \doprocessseparatedlist (syst-ext.tex). Problem is if a list item starts with a single_char followed by a space.

BachoTeX 2008 -- Call for Papers -- reminder
by Jerzy B. Ludwichowski 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

Dear friends, The BachoTeX 2008 Program Committee dares to remind you of the quickly upcoming deadline for submitting paper proposals for the BachoTeX 2008 conference. The Call for Papers and TeX Pearls can be found http://www.gust.org.pl/BachoTeX/2008/cfp1en. We trust that the main theme of the conference, ,,TeX contra TeX'' should be of a great interest to the community at large and the various developers in particular. You may have noted that the supplementing theme "Aesthetic aspects of typesetting" is also addressed to those who use other typesetting software. If you know people active in this area please talk them into presenting a paper. Your children or very young TeXies in your vicinity are invited to contribute in the yet another conference supplementing theme "What is TeX to me?" Based on suggestions and experiences from previous years, one day of the conference will be devoted solely to working meetings of the various informal interest groups (no presentations): - fonts, - TeX engines, - distributions, - supporting software, - typesetting software in general, - propagating TeX, - history of TeX -- you name it. Talk your common interest buddies into coming and/or propose a paper. Do not forget submitting your "TeX Pearls" aka "TeX beauties and oddities"! And, finally -- registration is open at http://www.gust.org.pl/BachoTeX/2008/registration-en. Please note that early registration ending March 31 allows for a significant saving in the conference fee. Come and celebrate the XVIth, or $10000_{2}$ or $100_{4}$ or $20_{8}$ or $10_{16}$ BachoTeX! Jerzy Ludwichowski Organizing Committee
