Subject:      Re: 6.12 Macro catalog conversion to 9.1.3
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Here is the whole log of a pared down version of the problem. It can
easily be repeated (I tried it on both SUN/UNIX and WINDOWS versions of
9.1.3) : all that's needed is any macro catalog to try and read from
and the name of one of the macros stored there.
Thanks again, Mark
(btw, I'm using SAS rather than LaTex because I want to "extract" the
source from the catalog itself. I'm not worried about the printing
format).
