This has nothing to do with TeX or the NeXT. It's entirely a problem with the dreaded "stinkin' PC". Count the characters in lcircle10. Nine. DOS can't handle that. Best solution: trash the PC's and get real computers. Next best solution: check the documentation for your PC version of TeX. It may have some sort of kludge work-around to accomodate DOS. Then you could treat "lcircle10" as "lcircle1". -- Jim Wright jwright@cfht.hawaii.edu Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Corp.
