Let's warn them in 2003 and give them one year of time to get to grips. If they don't, a compatibility file which does \let\beginL\undefined \let\beginR\undefined should not be too hard to do. But it would preclude (like now) documents using french.sty to have a chance to typeset RL texts in a standard manner. High time to give them a better reason not to sabotage the Middle East if they have not seen a good one yet. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
