[texhax] Anyone using ledpar?

[Yannis Haralambous]

thanks for your answer. The question is: if I use parallel.sty  
together with ednotes.sty, will footnotes be processed at environment  
end or when the footnotes actually appear? That's the only problem I  
have with parallel, otherwise it works just fine.
