Setting it to won't fix would be fine with me as well. Bye, Joerg signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Why do you want a private conversation about this? I assume this was a mistake, and send this answer to the bug again. I don't know anything about seminar's update cycles, nor whether they are regularly uploaded to CTAN. teTeX 3.0 generally includes files from CTAN up to February 2005. If people don't upload their stuff, I can't help. Moreover, the file seminar.bg3 you sent doesn't contain any copyright and license statement, and therefore may not be distributed.

Hm, if he actually *maintains* it, I usually would assume that there's a reason why he has not uploaded the correction to tug.org - e.g. because he thinks it needs more testing, or he actually has found a bug in bg3.
