Dear gang,

I need a way to overlay four framed boxes so that each inner box is exactly in the center of its respective outer box. So far I have the following, but careful inspection will show that the boxes are not precisely centered with respect to each other. I could go on by trial and error but I'm sure there is a direct way to do this.

The text should also be precisely centered between frames.

Thank you in advance! Idris ========================================================= \setupoutput[pdftex]%
