Sorry, I don't like to moderate between TeX-D-L and here (and will be 
off from tomorrow to end of September)...
CC to Thomas Meyer: Please care for yourself now.

Thomas Meyer wrote, some PPCHTeX code wouldn't work, the error message 
was:
"ppchtex.tex:3390: undefined control sequence"
He uses an actual MikTeX (again, only problems with this, we should 
mark it red in the wiki...)
His file ppchtex.tex ends like:

\def\cpos#1#2%
   {\iftrialtypesetting
      #2%
    \else
      \bgroup
      \globalpushmacro\dowithchemical
<--------3390
      
\gdef\dowithchemical##1{\hpos{#1}{##1}\globalpopmacro\dowithchemical}%
      #2%
      \egroup
   \fi}

\fi
\f\protect \endinput


Tobias Hilbricht answered, the code would work with his ppchtex.tex 
version from TeX Live 2003,
there line 3390 (second line from the end) had only a lonely "\fi", but 
the file is 3kB bigger,
but both show the same date of 1997-03-19 (I guess this date is only 
the creation date and not
altered at changes, isn't it?)

With Tobias' file it worked at Thomas.
Thomas downloaded the file from pragma-ade.nl, and it doesn't work 
again.

I told him to ask at the PPCHTeX list, see above.

Further Thomas wanted to draw seven-rings, and that seems not supported 
by PPCHTeX.
