eqalign name clash

eqalign name clash

[Hans van der Meer]

I am afraid that the update of today (28-1-2006) also has generated a  
problem.
This used to work (just a plaintex \eqalign)

\starttext
\placeformula\startformula
\matrix{a&b\cr c&d\cr}
\eqalign{
	a &= b\cr
	pq &= t+1\cr
}
\stopformula
\stoptext

I see in core-mat.tex a macro \eqalign#1 (line 1514). It is new I  
think, but its name CLASHES with the standard TeX \eqalign math macro.
I do not think that wise and had to comment it out in my working  
copy. Everything being fine again after that.

yours sincerely,
dr. H. van der Meer

Not a name clash, but a typo. There should not be braces
around the .25\bodyfontsize inside the \eqalign definition.
It should read:

     \openup.25\bodyfontsize% was: \openup\jot

Cheers, Taco

the latest version is ok and has some more math (matrix and sucn)
