Re: LaTeX packages from MiKTeX --- teTeX?

So there is no misunderstanding, I am only asking about LaTeX package files per se, not the binaries, which are obviously platform specific. Thanks. Which packages are in MiKTeX, but not in teTeX?

Ciao, Dirk Hi Dirk. Btw, Thanks to George for answering my question. Now, it's not so much that I'm concerned with whether or not MiKTeX has more packages than teTeX; it's more that it seems like it would be easier to keep current with the latest versions of various LaTeX packages by updating with MiKTeX and simply copying the new versions over to teTeX. Maybe that's more trouble than it's worth, but it's just a thought. -- Richard

In general, this should work, but you have to watch for the odd situation where the newlines matter (e.g., some shell or perl script). There are tools that try to make intelligent conversions of newlines, but they can't always be trusted. If you want to keep teTeX tightly synchronized with MiKTeX for a small number of users this could be a reasonable thing to do. Another option would be to install texlive. -- George White [EMAIL PROTECTED] Head of St. Margarets Bay, Nova Scotia
