Hi Rolf,

The example file ``eso-ex1.tex'' of eso-pic package
does NOT work fine with latex-dev (LaTeX2e 2020-10-01).
See attached.

Ulrike kindly told me the reason:

Actually, `\@tempdimc` is newly used in the definition of
\put etc., since LaTeX2e 2020-10-01.

I think you can replace \@tempdimc e.g. by \my@tempdimc:

\newdimen\my@tempdima
\newdimen\my@tempdimb
\newdimen\my@tempdimc

and use them in the calculation in ``eso-ex1.tex''

I changed the calculation in eso-ex1.tex so that system dimension registers are no longer used. Similar changes also in eso-pic.sty.
