Dear AmigaCommonTeX users:

I recently discovered what I believe to be a bug in AmigaCommomTeX
(Ported by Wuebbling).  Overall The package works fine, but while
trying to typeset a recital program, I found an inconsistancy.

The following code should make a 6X9 inch page with 1inch top/bottom
margins and 1/2 inch side margins. 
\hsize=5in
\vsize=7in
\hoffset=-.5in

The negative hoffset was ignored by AmigaCommonTeX, but when I
rerendered the pages on our vaxen (about 300% slower render.  sigh.)
the offset worked corectly.

Has anyone else had this problem?  Mr. Wuebbling care to comment?

Other than this, I haven't had ANY trouble with the package.
