Dorai has released a new version of eplain, 2.8.2. It has the latest version of texnames.sty, Stepan Kasal's fix for lost text with \doublecolumns, and \setpropertyglobal from Oleg Katsitadze. Available at ftp://tug.org/tex/eplain and eplain.tar.gz. Should make it around to CTAN within a day or two ... thanks, k
