Remove the option.

BUG

Perl script does not handle big (>ite-ps-limit bytes) iTe objects (reported by Torben Hoffmann).

FIX

In /ite/rsc/ite.pl, replace the line

print $fh "\n($FN) run\n";

by

print PAGE "\n($FN) run\n";

BUG

make install cannot handle relative path names for texdir and lispdir.

FIX

Use absolute path names.

BUG

iTe fails to parse the (La)TeX log file correctly when \tracingmacros is set.

FIX

Don't use \tracingmacros when running iTe.

Bug list for iTe 1_1 (Aug 1998)

BUG

iTe scrambles macros in the TeX source that start with \ite and do not continue with an 'm', such as \iterate.

FIX

Replace the single occurrence of [^m] in ite.el by [^a-zA-Z].

BUG

Pages are displayed but immediately erased (GhostScript version 5_50).

FIX

Replace all two occurences in 'ite.el' of copypage by flushpage.

BUG

Minor modes are switched off by iTe.

FIX

Invoke minor modes with the optional argument 't'. For example

         (add-hook 'latex-mode-hook '(lambda () (interactive) 
            (outline-minor-mode t))) 
	

instead of

         (add-hook 'latex-mode-hook 'outline-minor-mode)
