Re: [NTG-context] plain tex, context and latex
Is there an equivalent of the amstex *\overset* macro? I couldn't find it in your articles.

Re: [NTG-context] plain tex, context and latex
Yes. \overset and \underset were ported to context some months back. If you have a recent install, both should work.

Re: [NTG-context] plain tex, context and latex
It doesn't work, so I haven't got it. Can I get the source .tex of \overset and \underset and use \input instead of reinstalling things? It costed me a lot of time to get everything work all right, so I am not very eager to risk spoiling things (I used the ProText cd-rom for Windows).

Re: [NTG-context] plain tex, context and latex
In latex it doesn't work. Latex says that \settabs is undefined. Does anyone
know why?
Yes, that's because \settabs is not a TeX primitive and is defined
in plain.tex (line 602, \def\settabs{\setbox\tabs\null [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
In LaTeX I guess you want to look into the tabbing environment, or the
more high-level tabular sort of things.
ConTeXt takes over most of the Plain TeX macros; that's why it's
defined here and not in LaTeX.

Re: [NTG-context] plain tex, context and latex
Really!. That's really a disadvantage of Latex! I thought Knuth's
primitives plus macro's were together 'plain tex' and thus untouched in both
Context and Latex.
Thanks for your help.
The reason to write a booklet in Latex instead of in context was that I
wanted to use some amstex macro's. Is it possible to use amstex in context
as well?

No -- in some cases there are real conflicts, but in this case, you might
get away with just pasting lines 598--632 from plain.tex, bracketed with
\makeatletter and \makeatother (which will also be needed around your
table).

The reason to write a booklet in Latex instead of in context was that I
wanted to use some amstex macro's. Is it possible to use amstex in context
as well?
What part of amstex?The math-ams module defines characters, but
I'm not sure
about some of the advanced layout stuff.
