It works very well when I use pcr, but +it fails miserably when trying to go down to cmtt (see attached +sty file), because (of course, you know it) there are some +characters missing in cmtt. I found somewhere on DejaNews also +attached plainTeX makro for emulating quotes, which (to my +biggest surprise) work without any problem.

Register with the very early-lions *before the end of the year 2002* +and no later than April 9, 2003, to benefit from special conference and +accommodation rates. + +2) Make a donation, (however large or small) as a token of +appreciation for having TeX available to you as free software, and let +your colleagues and your bosses know about this meeting so that they too +can contribute towards the event, and to the future development of the TeX +family of programs. TeX is very much alive and doing well both as a +front-end for authors, and a back-end as a tool in the automated processes +that provide easy conversion to XML,PDF, HTML. + +3) Publishers, vendors, and other commercial users, developers, and +distributors of products that use, or are prepared in, TeX (Plain, AmsTeX, +AMSLaTeX, LaTeX, pdfTeX, Metafont, MetaPost, ConTeXt, etc.) can sponsor or +co- sponsor events (coffee breaks, lunches, reception, banquet) and most +of all towards renowned plenary speakers and TUG 2003 as a whole. + +4) The TeX Heritage Committee chaired by Sebastian Rahtz, will be +organizing projects and happenings for the Silver Anniversary of TeX. +One of these will be to publish a special volume of reflections by key +developers and users of TeX. The book will be (temporarily) entitled: + +"TeX Retrospective: milestones and byways on the road to beautiful +typography" + +More information will be published on the website at: + http://www.tug.org/tug2003/heritage/ + +Note: Generous donors and sponsors ($500.00 or more) will receive + a complimentary copy of the silver anniversary volume. + +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +So start planning now to join us in Hawaii in body and/or in spirit for +TUG 2003 on July 20 - 24, 2003.
