eh .. i can imagine that they are surprised that the primitive \match does not work, but any package that defines its own will since it overloads the primitive btw, i suppose that the switch to etex also caused problems for latex then? anyhow, i have no problem with a prefix, how about: \ext (extensions) -> \extmatch they are not pdftex specific (hence no p prefix) and they can as well end up in jonathan's xetex (i'll discuss it with him when the patches are ready) Hans Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
