Re: Quick question regarding -src-specials
It is a well-known problem that there are quite a few TeX versions are around where -src-specials will cause the equivalent of \usepackage{indentfirst}, namely causing chapter beginnings and the like under LaTeX to be indented. I think that teTeX-beta never had this bug. It was introduced by a last minute web2c-fix, shortly before TeX Live 7 was released. I was unsure about that fix and had not aapplied it to teTeX-beta. Are there any specific releases of teTeX-beta and/or TeXlive that one could recommend as not being afflicted in that particular manner? I think that only the first versions of TeX Live 7 are affected. The programs identify themself with a web2c-version that ends up with x, 7.3.7x I think. Thomas

As concerned TL7, it is still: This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.3.7x) I think it is intentionally, so we have the same binaries for all (GUST, TUG, DANTE, TUG2002, CSTUG CD TeX Live 7 releases). -- Staszek Wawrykiewicz email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Quick question regarding -src-specials
It is a well-known problem that there are quite a few TeX versions are around where -src-specials will cause the equivalent of \usepackage{indentfirst}, namely causing chapter beginnings and the like under LaTeX to be indented. Does anybody have the scoop about what to tell the people still being surprised? IIRC, this was supposed to be fixed (as in: the number of cases where the specials wreaked appallingly visible havoc be reduced) in some web2c version. Are there any specific releases of teTeX-beta and/or TeXlive that one could recommend as not being afflicted in that particular manner? -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
