Hi Sam
Markus and Tammy have already given solutions, and mine is probably not
the best, but here is it. I sed the tex file using this commands:

    cp -f $radical.tex $radical.tmp 
    cat $radical.tmp | sed s!--!-\\/-!g \
                     | sed s!--!-\\/-!g \ > $radical.tex 

(BTW, I suppose this was fixed in OJ 1.4 ?)
Cheers. Jany
