[comp.text.tex] New version of LaTeX ???

kirkaas@oahu.cs.ucla.edu (paul kirkaas) (04/22/91)

I've heard rumors about a new LaTeX 3.0 for a long time now.  Is it really
in the works?  When is it's approximate release date?

I also have a trivial suggestion --- even if art9.sty & art8.sty files
are not released, please make article.sty compatible with the possibility
of such files.  Currently, article.sty assumes a "1" as the first character
of the font size option, so only font sizes 10 -- 19 are possible for
artXX.sty files.  I have modified the art10.sty file to make myself
an art7, art8 & art9.sty, but I also had to modify article.sty.  This
was trivial, but, of course non-portable.  Since it is so trivial,
it would be nice to make this a standard facility for those of
us who do such discouraged things as using a 9 point print size.

Thank you.

Paul
