Hi Mike;
No other version available.
You are correct - I must have used the -d switch. I unzip with a batch file
which dumps the result onto my ramdrive for quick disposal. The switch is
in the .bat and I never think about it. <g>
I have made this log of my latest test run.
The whole package takes most of my 4 Meg ramdisk. If I could get it to work
I would obviously keep only pdftotex - at least it's smaller than Acrodos.
