and then goes on to recommend my macros -- thanks, Steve.

But just a clarification: the FSF didn't fund the development of eplain,
and they aren't distributing it, and they know nothing about it.  The
macros were written mostly by me, based largely on some stuff in the
TeXbook, for the book TeX for the Impatient.  (But the macros are public
domain and the documentation is copylefted.)

Anyway, enjoy.
