[comp.text.tex] Problem with MULTICOL?

tad@prism.gatech.EDU (Tad K. Mannes) (06/25/91)

Hello...

Thanks to all who pointed me to the location of multicol:
   Andy Golding <golding@Neon.Stanford.EDU>
   Nico Verwer <nico@cs.ruu.nl>
   Bob Keys <rdkeys@ccvr1.cc.ncsu.edu>

The problem I have with multicol is that everytime LaTeX hits a
"\end{multicols}" or a "\end{macros}" it complains with:

   "\begin{document} ended by \end{multicols}"

                  or

   "\begin{document} ended by \end{macros}"

Anyone have any idea of how to fix this?  I've included some of the log
file from "multicol.log" below in case it might be helpful...
	Thanks again		--Tad

Very easy to fix: get an up-to-date version of LaTeX. That's was bug in LaTeX
that was fixed on 24 May 89.
