Greetings,

I'm in the process of tracking the problems in altnlines.sty.  I'm using
an output routine to handle the numbering following the examples of
David Salamon in his tutorial that appeared in TUGBoat.  The questions
I have are:

Does LaTeX make any calls to output other than the ones done by TeX, i.e., 
errors of -10000 or less?

Does LaTeX use any constructs that would cause an error of -10000 or less?

The main problem is that LaTeX seems to be calling the output routine at
times I don't expect.  I've never set tracing.  Would that isolate the
problem adequately?

Thanks for any help,
JAF

p.s. My lab (Fluids) is getting a few 486's that will be running some version
     of unix (probably 386bsd).  Does anyone have experience getting TeX/LaTeX
     up under such a configuration?  They will also have a DOS partition so
     I could resort to EmTeX if the TeX installation process is involved.
