I'm not sure what you mean by "I don't think so". The error message I
get from pdfetex is that it can't find the file.

It's not a new problem -- I god the same problem the last time I tried
(a year or two ago). runperl simply uses the part of the path _after_
the space in the path name. It may be a perl problem, of course --
that it runs the last "token" on the command line; but if runperl
escaped whitespace properly, that ought not be a problem... (Note that
I'm using cygwin, if that matters at all.)

Sounds good. One less hurdle to conquer during installation :)

(BTW: I think fpTeX looks absolutely wonderful -- I didn't mean to
sound negative...)
