drg@cs.city.ac.uk (David Gilbert) (12/19/90)

We run 
(i) Common TeX, Version 2.1.1 (preloaded format=lplain 88.1.28) 
	LaTeX Version 2.09 - Released 19 April 1986

(ii) TeX, Version 2.0 for Berkeley UNIX (preloaded format=lplain 87.9.1)
	LaTeX Version 2.09 - Released 19 April 1986

(iii) TeX, C Version 3.0 
	LaTeX Version 2.09 <24 May 1989>

The following file looks nice under (i) & (ii), but nasty under (iii)
