Really!. That's really a disadvantage of Latex! I thought Knuth's
primitives plus macro's were together 'plain tex' and thus untouched in both
Context and Latex.
Thanks for your help.
The reason to write a booklet in Latex instead of in context was that I
wanted to use some amstex macro's. Is it possible to use amstex in context
as well?
