Hai, I've encountered the following problem |-) :
Running EmTex ( Latex ) with the picture below gives differnt results depending
on the version of Latex used.
1) With the original EmTex distribution the figure below is incorrect.
Some of the lines of the ovals do not join. And there are complaints
on too small boxes. ( Latex 2.09, may 1989 )
2) Running the same with PCTeX gives correct results. ( Latex 2.09, sep 1987 )
3) Running EmTeX with the sep 1987 version of Latex, will again result in the
corrent picture.
4) A cross-check on our Apollo-Tex ( Generic Tape, latex 2.09 apr 1988 )
reviels that here the picture is again generated correct.
( Did not try the may 1989 version )
My conclusion here is that LaTeX 2.09 may 1989 is broken somewhere.
This is my opinion, and it need not be correct.
Are there any guru's out there which care to react on this weird behaviour?
Can anybody reproduce the problems I've encountered. ( Even the sizes of all
dvi-files differ. )
Thanx
