Well I agree that the error messages mean sometimes it is hard to find the real cause, but John Maddock and I are building the maths & stats docs which should eventually result in towards 200 pages of pdf (John's having some rpoblems with the conversion to pdf but that's another matter. Building the html only takes about 15 seconds which seems acceptable for the sort of job for which it is designed. So I'd always like it yesterday, but it's fast enough for me.
