Hi Taral,

Sorry that nobody looked at that bug so long.

And later on you submitted additional information:

,----
| These should read:
| 
| \pdfcatalog{/PageMode /UseOutlines}
| \pdfstartlink attr{/Border [0 0 0]} goto num #1
`----

It seems the reason why nobody answered may be that nobody on the tetex
maintainers' list uses pdfwebmac. I simply don't understand the problem
- so could you please elaborate a little on it?

Please provide a minimal document that can be run through pdftex to
produce your problem (is it just the two lines above? We need
everything, preamble an stuff.) and what you expect to see as
output. Also please provide the exact error message so that we can
compare it with more recent versions of the tetex package (most of us
are using the version from Debian unstable).

I would be very glad if this problem could be resolved.

Thank you for your cooperation,
Frank
