The other place where spaces cause problems is in the user's "HOME" directory. TeXLive looks in %HOME%/texmf, and texexec creates a texfilename.tmp with a reference to %HOME%. On my brief foray into WinXP the default HOME location had a space. We are expecting a bunch of Win9x users (currently with 4allTeX) to be converted to WinXP using a departmental standard configuration, and I need a full TeX that will play nicely with that (I did suggest that our users would be better off running linux in vmware). -- George N.
