You know, seeing how streams work made me think about an extension I was considering for Alpeh: \pageboxnumber, being 255 by default but which could be changed at runtime, choosing which box was used to build the MVL. I originally thought about it because my mathematically aesthetical sense complained that box 255 had to be used in e-TeX and Omega/Aleph as well (the last box number in each system made more sense), but now that I see your streams idea I think it would have been a useful addition.
this will become configurable in luatex
Ah, good to know.
(Oh yes, I should really get back to Aleph. I see that luatex builds on that too. I must say that I'm glad to see that the project has been taken over when I disappeared without a trace :P)
well, luatex renders aleph kind of obsolete -)
Yeah, I got that impression :)
also, luatex has pdf output (also for aleph stuff)
This is a very good thing. I have big hopes up for it. Also, as part of my “getting back into the loop”, do you think there's some where/some how I can give a hand? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
