AUCTeX will do call dvips and launch a Postscript viewer (in case Windows is aware of one) once you do `C-c C-c View <RET>'. You could define your own view command to convert the Postscript file to PDF as well. See (info "(auctex)Starting Viewers") for a description of the customization options. > ps2pdf12 %1-pics.ps > pdflatex %1.tex , Why the pdflatex call? > This way you get your pdf-Document with one mouse-click.

A function call to give you the name of the master file without an extension would be this: (TeX-master-file nil t) You could also add an entry to `TeX-command-list' which calls your batch file. See (info "(auctex)Selecting a Command") for an example on how to do this. This is a bit tricky, though, because you need to decide on an appropriate process filter to keep the error parsing functionality of AUCTeX and I don't know if e.g. `TeX-run-TeX' works well enough with a batch file calling several commands. So I'd suggest to rather use the trick with the view command mentioned above. -- Ralf _______________________________________________ auctex mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex
