I originally thought about it because my mathematically aesthetical sense complained that box 255 had to be used in e-TeX and Omega/Aleph as well (the last box number in each system made more sense), but now that I see your streams idea I think it would have been a useful addition. (Oh yes, I should really get back to Aleph. I see that luatex builds on that too. I must say that I'm glad to see that the project has been taken over when I disappeared without a trace :P) -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
