Re: r2l alignment and linenumbering conflict?

["Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي حامد" <Idris.Hamid@colostate.edu>]

Dear Talal,
Salaam.

Your tex file linertl.tex appears to be corrupted, could you either repost  
it or send it to me off list?

I was also going to write something similar to Pablo. My suggestion is to  
move forward with the rest of your project and this will almost certainly  
be solved before you're done. Unless Hans says that there is no chance of  
a fix, which I *highly* doubt. Send a reminder to the list every few days  
or so, as you did today.

Proceeding this way produces an uneasy feeling; believe me, I know. But  
I've been in your shoes more times than I can count and it always worked  
out in the end.

Best wishes
Idris
