from the copy of latex.ltx on the archive: \edef\fmtversion{2001/06/01} i think you're looking at the wrong thing. (and there have been rather more than 2 releases since 1996!) and since everyone knows that tetex 3.0 is just around the corner, i don't imagine anyone is going to get excite by omissions from 2.0.2 robin
