Maybe I produced some garbage > inbetween. :-) Nath is a very complex module, easily broken. If you can privately send me your preamble we might be able to find what was breaking it. Or you can try it yourself: move it up line by line until delimiters don't work anymore: you'll find what makes it bomb :) >> Anyway, it looks like the fix is easy: the problem is that >> dimension commands are not protected (unexpandable). > Thank you very much, I'll try that.

Those multi-equation environments are somewhat more difficult to convert to ConTeXt. And I still haven't got a complete grasp on how things work in ConTeXt (esp wrt numbering), so it's a double effort. It's on my TODO list though. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
