Subject: alloc@0, etc, from plain.tex
Date: Mon, 9 Aug 2010 05:58:21 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <i3o1td$1cq$1@dough.gmane.org> (raw)

There's a plain TeX package (bussproofs.sty from CTAN; I realize that 
the file ends with ".sty" but it's intended to work in plain TeX) that 
I'm trying to get working with ConTeXt.  I'm stuck at one point though: 
the package has the statements

\def\newcount{\alloc@0\count\countdef\insc@unt}
\def\newdimen{\alloc@1\dimen\dimendef\insc@unt}
\def\newskip{\alloc@2\skip\skipdef\insc@unt}
\def\newbox{\alloc@4\box\chardef\insc@unt}

ConTeXt complains because it doesn't know what alloc@0, etc., are.  Any 
advice for how to import this functionality from plain.tex into ConTeXt?

thanks,

Jesse
