I have uploaded a new release of ziffer.sty (v2.1). It should replace macros/latex/contrib/supported/misc/ziffer.sty This is a small package which allows typesetting of numbers according to the conventions used in Germany and some other countries. More precisely: . (within a number in math-mode) becomes a small space [1000-separator] , (within a number in math-mode) becomes a 'decimal-separator comma' -- (in math-mode) gets a more natural spacing (customizable). In other contexts, the above symbols can be used as usual (also in math-mode). In the new release, the '--' conversion is not the default anymore and can be switched on/off separately. The reason is that this conversion causes (unavoidable) problems with newer versions of amsmath.
Thanks for the update, I installed it as requested, in
macros/latex/contrib/supported/misc/ziffer.sty
