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). Liesbeth

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
