Hi all, in particular LaTeX group,
it seems that some old documents (.dtx) don't translate anymore
correctly. That might be simply a bug in the old code, but maybe some
oversight in the LaTeX code.
The attached lgrind.dtx was used and always properly build up to recent
changes (2020 LaTeX), but now fails with

Since it contains the

recent LaTeX.
Any comments?

Hi Norbert,
Where can we find lgrind.dtx?
