Hello Jeremy, these are some quite neat tools that you noted here. In the meanwhile I have started posting my stuff online, using the more primitive, but actually very easy to use technique of the save button combined with a tiny shell script that copies the latest saved file via rsync to the server. The results are here:
http://larigot.avarts.ionio.gr/users/iani/wikis/ The index wiki is this one: http://larigot.avarts.ionio.gr/users/iani/wikis/sudel-a.html And this is where I collect the various tricks that I learn on the way: http://larigot.avarts.ionio.gr/users/iani/wikis/tw5square.html I'll test your suggestions and post the results in the tw5square wiki or here. Thanks again. Cheers, Iannis Z. On Wednesday, October 8, 2014 6:35:35 PM UTC+3, Jeremy Ruston wrote: > > Hi iani > > TW5 is working very well for me.
