Dear Mr. Hagen,
I have a problem with using PPCHTEX with LaTeX (MikTeX 2.6).
After reporting this problem at GoogleGroups I get a message to report
the problem directly to you.
The problem is, that only the including of \usepackage{m-pictex,
m-ch-de} makes six errors (pdflatex).
The minimal example:
\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage{m-ch-de}
\begin{document}
Test
\end{document}
The errors:
! Missing { inserted.
<to be read again>
\def
l.659 \unexpanded\def
\complexstartchemical[#1]%
...
! Forbidden control sequence found while scanning text of \unexpanded.
<inserted text>
}
l.840
...
! Missing { inserted.
<to be read again>
\edef
l.1768 \definecomplexorsimple\chemical
...
\edef \chemical {\noexpand \docomplexorsimple \@EA \noexpand \csname
\ETC.
! Forbidden control sequence found while scanning text of \unexpanded.
<inserted text>
}
l.1867
...
! Missing { inserted.
<to be read again>
\def
l.1868 \unexpanded\def
\chemicaloxidation#1#2#3%
...
! Forbidden control sequence found while scanning text of \unexpanded.
<inserted text>
}
l.2026
I tried to use etex.sty, m-pictex and pstricks instead of pictex, but
without success.
The running with latex and pstricks makes even 19 errors.
What can I do?
I hope you can help me and send you many thanks in advance.
Sincerely
Erik

I am confused. Consider the following file:
\unexpanded\def\test{Test}
\test
\bye
Run it through ConTeXt, and it compiles fine. Run it through pdftex (plain
format) and it gives:
This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6)
%&-line parsing enabled.
entering extended mode
(./plain.tex
! Missing { inserted.
<to be read again>
\def
l.1 \unexpanded\def
\test{Test}
?
Runaway text?
\def \test {Test} \test
! Forbidden control sequence found while scanning text of \unexpanded.
Isn't \unexpanded a primitive in pdftex? Why does it behave differently in
ConTeXt and plain pdftex?
Aditya

\unexpanded is a primitive in etex, introduced when context already had
an \unexpanded macro; the same is true for \protected
\normalunexpanded gives you the primitive
when loaded in latex, ppchtex should restore the meaning of \unexpanded
after loading but i cannot test that here

There is a bug in ppchtex.noc. Line 39 says
\let\unexpanded\normalunexpanded
However, on line 181 you load ppchtex. ppchtex assumes that \unexpanded
is the context macro, not the etex primitive. The easy work around is to
move the \let\unexpanded\normalunexpanded line to the end of the
ppchtex.noc. This works fine on my machine.
To the OP: locate ppchtex.noc by kpsewhich ppchtex.noc and copy that file
to your current directory. Cut line 39 (\let\unexpanded\normalunexpanded)
and paste it after line 213 (just before the last line). After this change
the minimal example that you posted works correctly. See if your actual
tex file now compiles.
Aditya

ok, patched
(the problem with the original patch is that after adding it no one
bothered to test it) .. thanks for looking into it
