To my knowledge our Bjorn> LaTeX *is* plain, but it did not complain. (Just for info.) Sorry about this, but I didn't see the following note in the most recent version of latex.tex (which we're using): % \begin, \end, and \@checkend changed so \end{document} will catch % an unmatched \begin. Changed 24 May 89 as suggested by % Frank Mittelbach and Rainer Sch\"opf. Equals: you're running a very old version of LaTeX! Make your local TeX responsible install a newer! A new version of LaTeX would have behaved as I said... /Kresten -- btw: I'm not from Aarhus but Aalborg - I can forgive you for that :-)
