Message-Id: <20000504014452.5192B2FF69@snoopy.apana.org.au>
Package: tetex-nonfree
Version: 1.0-10
Severity: normal
File: /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/seminar/semlayer.sty
Hello,
I encountered this error when attempting to use a floating table (ie one
that appears in a different spot) within the notes section of a seminar
file:
! Extra \else.
\process@@slide ...nish@slide \output@slide \else
\setbox \@@slidebox \box \...
l.316 \end{slide}
the following patch "appears" to fix the problem (not sure if
this is the correct fix or not, just a quick hack):
*** /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/seminar/semlayer.sty Fri Apr 2 08:00:00 1993--- semlayer.sty Thu May 4 11:33:05 2000

(also, this isn't the only problem I have encountered with seminar.sty,
just the first one I found the fix for).

Brian,
You seem to have found the ``official'' solution to the problem
you described in this bug report, so I'm going to close it.
There is a readme file on CTAN that implies that Timothy Van Zandt
(the original author) is working on a new version of the package;
Tim's (La)TeX page is <http://zandtwerk.insead.fr/tex.html>.
On that page, he includes a link to a page maintained by Denis
Girou, who has been doing most of the bug-fixing work on seminar
(and PSTricks): <http://www.tug.org/applications/Seminar/>.
You might want to contact Denis or Tim about their future plans.
