Hi, after a long time and after changing from YandY to fpTeX I made an attempt to compile xo-pfloat with the new OR (with PDFLaTeX). I got the following error message: [snip] (c:/TeX/texmf/tex/latex3/xor/xo-alloc.sty ! LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}. See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation. Type H <return> for immediate help. ... l.29 \chardef\@kludgeins="F C\relax^^M ? [snip] and the same for \insc@unt"FC\relax After changing these hex values to decimal everything compiled perfectly well. Now I'm wondering if this is well-known, a bug, or something wrong with my setup. BTW are there new developments concerning this stuff (OR, grid design, etc.)? Regards, Ulrich Dirr
