sometimes there are two or even more macros inside a packge! But that is
the way LaTeX is: a small kernel with no changes in the last decade and a
great number of additional stuff which is packed in packages. So you
sometimes have pages of \usepackage{...} statements :)

well, I don't like any of those. The spacing in the last two is too tight.
The first one is kind of ok, but I'd choose a smaller /
\def\textfrac#1#2%
{\hbox{\tx\high{#1\kern-.15em}\raise .2ex\hbox {/}\low{\kern-.15em#2}}}
test \textfrac{1}{2} test \textfrac{123}{456} test
This also comes close to what my favourite typography book says. I don't
know if the def is bulletproof against other fonts/setups.
