from meman.tex: \item[\Lopt{article}] typesetting simulates the \Lclass{article} class, but the \cmd{\chapter} command is not disabled. Chapters\index{chapter} do not start a new page and chapter headings\index{heading!chapter} are typeset like a section heading\index{heading!sections}. The numbering of figures\index{figure}, etc., is continuous and not per chapter. However, a \cmd{\part} command still puts its heading\index{heading!part} on a page by itself. So I understand that it is intended to have chapters even with the article option. Anyway, feel free to improve the layout (it's in CVS now). Jürgen.
