Aditya,
Hadn't thought of that one either. I'm taking a package from a LaTeX source
and working on converting it. I'm trying to leave the original intact as much
as possible. Unfortunately, in trying to leave it intact, I seem to be
approaching the problem/solution rather myopically.
Thanks for the hint.
Bart
