Also note that due to the way TeX works this can, in principle, be done even without that. If you think your document should only be processed with an unchanged version of foo.sty, you can look at every macro provided *and*used*internally* by foo.sty and check whether it has been changed. Having the version number available is just more convenient... Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f. Biochemie, Univ.
