Hi all, in particular LaTeX group,

it seems that some old documents (.dtx) don't translate anymore
correctly. That might be simply a bug in the old code, but maybe some
oversight in the LaTeX code.

The attached lgrind.dtx was used and always properly build up to recent
changes (2020 LaTeX), but now fails with

         his is file `l3backend-dvips.def',
?
! Emergency stop.

Since it contains the
	l3backend-dvipds.def
that was recently introduced, I assume there is some breakage with
recent LaTeX.

Any comments?

Please keep Cc, thanks!

All the best

Hi Norbert,

Where can we find lgrind.dtx?
