Ah -- now that you say that I remember how it goes... (It's probably been more than a decade since I ran latex directly, not via some makefile, scribble, emacs, or whatever.) So a crude hack would be for the stdin that is sent to the process to have something like "quit\n". Something better would be to find out some option that makes it abort on a first error instead of switching to the compile-what-you-can-to-the-eof. Does that sound right? (Obviously, it eliminates information -- you get to see one error at a time, but that's probably something that nobody really needed since the 80s.) -- ((lambda (x) (x x)) (lambda (x) (x x))) Eli Barzilay: http://barzilay.org/ Maze is Life! _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/dev
