Dear Sri Wagner,
I am not very sure what all I did, but now it is coming properly. I
got the text and everything seems to have come as intended, except
some overflow on the right margin which I will have to correct
manually. But this is a big relief for me since I was struggling under
the weight of aleph for a long time.
Thank you all the same and warm regards from the tropics.
Sasi
