201.0. "Problem redefining \Prefacename" by RAQUEL::WELCH (P-O Litby, TSSC Stockholm/Sweden) Sun Apr 05 1987 14:41

	 I've been  trying  to  modify  the  DOCUMENT  doctypes  to  be more
	 suitable  for  the Swedish language.  I've been succesful doing so,
	 apart  from  one  thing:  It seems to be impossible to redefine the
	 preface heading in the MANUAL doctype.

	 In the directory DOC$STANDARD_FORMATS, the files

		TAG$M_REFERENCE.DTP
		TAG$M_GUIDE.DTP

	 have been modified to include the TeX statements

		\def\Chaptername{Kapitel}
			.
			.
			.
		\def\Prefacename{F�rord}

	 for all  these  ``Names''  as  they  are called in the manual.  All
	 these  modifications  give  the  desired  result,  except  that the
	 preface  heading still is ``Preface'' and there is nothing I can do
	 to change it.

	 Am I overlooking something trivial here, or have I found a bug?

201.1Bug in DTPCLOSET::ANKLAMMon Apr 06 1987 11:029
    
    You have found a bug (this is already fixed here for the next update).
    What you need to do for now is to modify the file in
    DOC$STANDARD_FORMATS:TAG$M_GUIDE.DTP. In the definition of \preface
    in that file, you will see where it outputs the word 'Preface'.
    Change this to \Prefacename in order for your definition to work.
