Why?  Do you mean typesetting can depend on a platform, or a
software version?  Would not this be a bug?

Yes, this is what Stepan was saying.  Did you miss his
message?  The thing is I am missing (at least) one message
from this thread, too.  At first I thought it was my email

missed a message.  Has anybody else missed any messages
lately?

It seems ok to me, if the indexes are indeed independent of
the platform.
