Math startarray and \cases{xxx} bug?

Math startarray and \cases{xxx} bug?

[Maurice Diamantini]

Bonjour à tous,

I'm using amsl module, but it seems there is a probleme
with the startarray/stoparray environment which apear with the "t"
type of column (t for text).
So the basic cases commande doesn't work.

Also the \startcases/stopcases should have the same meaning thas
\cases{xxx} has, but it doen't.

I use textlive distrib with a copy og t-amsl.tex version 2004.11.18

Thank you for any help!

Thanks to Otared Kavian, things are OK now ;-)

There are still pb with the behavior of \\ which should be replaced
with \cr, and (variants of) \startcases which are not consistents
with the cases{} tex command.
But here are some samples of way to use \startarray and some \cases{}

The few things I'll try to remember are:
- TeX is your friend (don't think in LaTeX)
   e.g.  \matrix command is is a core usefull command, \cr instead of  
\\, ...
- \startarray could be the more powerfull ConTeXt command about  
mathematiques
   can be (and is) use to build some other commands
- but this later command seems to not be embedable in another  
\startarray command
   and lacks of some documentations (exemples on how to ajust  
spaces, ...)

Also is there a mean (a wiki page?) where to start building a  
collection of
mathematics exemples using ConTeXt ?

- home to print the doc in newmat.tex ?
