Dear friends,

I have been trying again to get Arabtex running. I got  the most recent 
version of apatch.sty etc. There are some problems.

Question 1. context gets stuck
When using Arabtex with Context (which I prefer now), the run stops on a 
command in apatch, \hc, referring to hepatch. Arabtex works normally 
with Latex, though. I already asked Prof. Lagally, but he wrote me that 
he believes the bug is probably related to Context.

Question 2. question mark
The Arabic question mark does not work: \<zayd?> results in an error, I 
am not sure, but I believe the question mark is remapped to something 
else (perhaps something unicode-ish) which Arabtex cannot handle.

Does anybody have a clue?

Regards,

Robert Ermers
