<DIV><FONT face="Arial Unicode MS">I didn't rebuild anything - and won't be
interfering with a brand-new installation of TexLive. I'm in the middle of
a couple of huge jobs and can't risk messing things up. (Actually I don't
think I've had to build a format file since the days of loading EmTeX onto a
computer with about a dozen floppy disks - some time in the early
1990s!)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Unicode MS"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Unicode MS">But in any case the simplified version
doesn't do the trick either - I get 'missing number, treated as
zero'.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Unicode MS"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Unicode MS">It's not really worth going into at present
(from my point of view, though others may have a more pressing need). I'll
investigate when I get some free time. Many thanks for the suggestions,
though.</FONT></DIV>

<BR>>is that it doesn't understand the command \typeout, and when told to

your format file? In order to avoid the problem with the \typeout commands,
