Re: changing default paper format in miktex 2.8

Can't tell why the file *was* so old, although I'm sure that there's a reason for it.

Anyway, I updated (some) packages, now the formatting works smoothly; will see whether I'll have any compilation difficulties with my source code later (;-).

Thanks again for the help.
Nicolae

Well you could edit the date but it would be a bad hack. Why is the file so old? In one of my 2.8-installation latex.ltx if from september 2009. Can't you run the update manager of your miktex?
