Since my disk storage has increased from 4Gbytes to 24Gbytes, I can now have in parallel emTeX (which has several very useful features) and TeXLive 6b. Of course, I have on my Win98SE TWO kinds of MSDOS windows, one with emtex/bin in the path and specific emTeX environment variables, the other withour emTeX but with the TeXLive required path and environment.
Both still work OK for [la]texing, but I have a problem with pdftex: C:\tmp>pdftex null This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-pre-1.0-unofficial-20010704 (Web2c 7.3.3.1) (d:/emtex/texinput/null.tex Error: pdftex.exe (file pdftex.cfg): cannot open config file Besides, "kpsewhich pdftex.cfg" yields nothing, while: C:\tmp>kpsewhich texmf.cnf e:\TeXLive\texmf-var\web2c/texmf.cnf Note that the above pdftex command works if there is a COPY of pdftex.cfg in the current directory (then, it is found) and not it it has to be taken in the TeXLive subdirectories. Of course, mktexlsr was recently run and, using "grep" (the DJGPP command) I find that pdftex.cfg duly is within the ls-R files. BUT there is a difference: "kpsewhich --help" says that *.cnf are searched, but not the *.cfg. Therefore, either there is a bug in pdftex which unduly use kpathsearch to find pdftex.cfg, or I should modify the list of seachable suffixes... but where? Thanks for any help. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Daniel Taupin, 91400 ORSAY - France E-mail= mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Home/fax: (33)1.60.10.26.44.
