Hi,
a friend of mine sent me a documentation to a program written in TeX, that
uses the TeXInfo macros.
The strange thing is that when I TeX the document I get an error and he
doesn't.
I use TeX v. 2.93a on a VMS sysyem, he uses TeX 3.0 on a UNIX system.
The output of TeX is listed below. Has anyone a clue why it doesn't work?
Thanks a lot
             laci

This is TeX, VAX/VMS Version 2.93a (preloaded format=plain 89.1.30)  11 MAR 1991 11:57
