Missing number, treated as zero." OR change the Makefile to correctly get the current version 1.16 in the CTAN msc.zip file Either solution delivers an appropriate result - the LaTeX package (modified or latest) works correctly. If I knew enough about the port tree Makefiles I would submit the patch for that my self, but that is still out-of-my-league. My Makefiles are way simpler than the port tree efforts... cheers Murray T -- |_|0|_| "Absence of evidence |_|_|0| is not evidence of absence" |0|0|0| Carl Sagan
