I suspect that this problem is specific to the Windows port and/or Andrew's binary release and affects all built-in functions, which is why the DOC file is so much smaller than it was in 21.2.90.1. Unfortunately, I don't have time right now to download and build from source.

Perhaps that problem is back, or was never solved? I recall a similar problem quite a long time ago, although I think that related to a more specific set of compiled functions and it was fixed (I think by you, Eli). The current problem arose only with the 21.2.92.1 pretest; the 21.2 release and the 21.2.91.1 pretest were OK. Francis ------- End of forwarded message -------
