• fix2col-xetex-bidi.def broken

    Hi,

    since my last MikTeX-Update I get 1200 Errors in my book, which used to compile error-free.

    The error-message alsways has the same form:

    ! Undefined control sequence

    \@combinedblfloats \@setmarks
    \@outputpage

    a combination that on my system occurs only in fix2col-xetex-bidi.def.


    Is the file broken?

    Thanks

    Engelbert

    it is not up-to-date. In a current LaTeX \@setmarks is no longer
    defined. The patches there must be adapted. Report it to the bidi
    package.
