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

ConTeXt has \newcount et al. predefined already.
Best wishes,

Plain tex also has these. If a style (in this case busproofs) does not
check for that it's likely to clash with more.

The package seems to work fine if I just kill those \def's -- thanks!
