I have corrected the blunder in kerTeX preventing the use of argv[0] as

Ok--so it's agreed that it's not OO that's the problem, it's the users, then,
who don't know which tool to use when. Not at all the same thing.
And to be pedantic, since you give this example, the sun does revolve around
the earth, so long as you choose the earth as your point of reference...
Sorry to be a grouch, but can we change this thread to OO instead of the
advertised TeX:hurrah! thread?
I'm interested in the TeX news, but not so interested in the OO/language
debate that no doubt will go on for a while...

Quotation from Wikipedia:
``It reads a high-level description of a document similar in style to

But the documentation makes no sense!
Its main disadvantages are that it can only produce PostScript and
there is no easy way to get XML or any other
output format (apart from plain text).
