Yesterday I simplified John's source file. The file I produced works if the source ends with "e", but crashes using R if the source ends with "el".<br>
<br>
Later John reported that this experiment failed for him. He sent me his version of my source and his dvi output.<br>
<br>
I typeset his version of the source, which behaved for me exactly as I predicted. However, his dvi file indeed did not crash. It turns out that our source files are exactly the same, but our dvi files are different. I enclose below our common source files, and the two different dvi files.<br>
<br>
Using cmp, the two dvi files differ at the top in an anticipated way, because the dvi contains the date and time of creation. After that they agree as draftcopy is processed. But at 00000330, which looks like the very end of draftcopy to an amateur like me, they diverge slightly. By the end, one file is 4 bytes longer than the other.<br>
