Re: Proble with using miniltx for plain TeX with babel

Donald,

The real problem is that catcode of '!' is magically changed from 11 to
12 inside supp-pdf.tex,

That is done by some lopsided \doprotect \unprotect pairing.
(In context, the ! is used in internal command names.)

Yes it can be a reason sometimes, but in this case the reason is deeper
I think.
There is an example here:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.text.tex/browse_frm/thread/848a6e83e6c622ff/#
Look at it if you are interested.
I can't figure out how catcode may get changed right after \newcount.

regards,
Dmitry
