The success of your agnoticism is proven by the fact that Deri's pdf work on mom relies (almost?) exclusively on pdfmark.tmac. I think there's some confusion about what I meant when I wrote "provides sensible float handling". Float handling *is* implemented separately in mom. I should perhaps have said, more simply, "treats pdf images as floats." -- Peter Schaffter http://www.schaffter.ca
