Hello all, The manual says catcode table 0 is initialized by INITEX. So you'd think it holds INITEX catcodes. But actually it does absolutely nothing when called: \catcode`\$=14 \catcodetable0 \immediate\write17{\the\catcode`\$}% Prints 14. \bye Is that normal? I.e. is table 0 a noop on purpose? Best, Paul
