Under this assumption TeX is dead by definition. However in a broader sense TeX is still actively developed, but it may not be called just 'TeX' because these new versions contain extensions. So they get new names with 'tex' being part of their name. PdfTeX and LuaTeX are new versions that are being developed right now. -- Piet van Oostrum <p...@cs.uu.nl> URL: http://www.cs.uu.nl/~piet [PGP 8DAE142BE17999C4] Private email: p...@vanoostrum.org You must Sign in before you can post messages.
