This is essentially what I concluded when writing the mom macros. Better to use psselect (from the psutils suite) to re-order TOCs in PostScript documents; for pdf documents, pdftk. While this necessarily requires users to write a pipeline, it's "the right tool," and affords greater flexibility with respect to TOC placement. Not all language conventions place the TOC at the beginning; I've any number of French works with a Table de matières at the back. -- Peter Schaffter Author of The Binbrook Caucus http://www.schaffter.ca
