And probably under fptex (e.g., TeX Live 2003) if you have spaces in paths (I tried to eliminate spaces in paths when I ran into problems, so I don't know if the subsequent changes have fixed this). Fptex caches the kpathsea lists in shared memory, which is a big performance boost for slower machines on fat32 (but also comes with some caveates -- RTFM). The recent (Dec. 18th??) updates to fptex seem at long last to work properly on Win9x, Win2k, and WinXP. The TeX Live 2003 page has a link to the fptex update page, but the URL for the updates seems to have died with the recent prohibition against symbolic links, so you will want to edit the properties for Maintenance/Add packages to change the command line to use you favorite CTAN mirror, e.g.,: C:\texLive\bin\Win32\TeXSetup.exe --add-package --remote-source-directory ftp://ctan.cms.math.ca/tex-archive/systems/win32/fptex/0.7/. -- George N.
