Thank you for your very prompt response and comment, David, but I do not entirely follow your logic -- whether or not something is an error is surely not the issue : what matters is whether something is or is not an unqualified success. IMVHO (and based on the VMS model, modulo 1 or 0 indicating success), a status code of zero should indicate unqualified success; non-zero status codes should be reserved for various categories of warning, error, severe error, fatal error, etc., should they not ? ** Phil. -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
