I don't know yet how your module works, but I suppose that is so. If you want to catch the output box just when it's being shipped out, then hacking \shipout is the best solution. But I'd rather recommend having a function that applies your coloring to any box, which function plain TeX users may apply at will to the output box (and to anything else: actually it'd be nice if you could apply that to just a part of the document). > And yes, I'll put something into the wiki _and_ use it as an TUGboat article > (at least I submit it). - when I find some time.

I was alluding to a French singer, firstname Patrick, who at some point in his career was particularly favored by teenage girls reportedly crying `Patriiiiiiiiick' at his concerts. Which cry remains attached to the singer. (If there exists an award for the biggest off-topic of the year, I think I've just won it.) Best, Paul
