Hi, In case any body is wondering: I will not be switching to the latest betas until after Bachotek (in two weeks). I have to finalize the next Maps issue first. Hans, do you have an ETA for a new 'current' release? Before or after BachoTeX? Patrick, I am still working on TeXshow-XML and it's article, but I strongly doubt that will be finished before bachotek (the new texshow-xml is a rewrite. still in perl, but much more structured).

in base/kpse.rb you need to add a test:

if ENV['TEXFORMATS'] then ENV['TEXFORMATS'] = ENV['TEXFORMATS'].sub(/\$ENGINE/io,'') end

Thanks, that did it for ctxtools.rb.

Hi,

I uploaded a new beta. This one has a prelude to a new implementation of texexec. I can run

this is still the texexec.pl as usual?

yes but it calls ctxtools to generate the formats in the end i'll make a new texexec in ruby in a similar fashion, much texutil functionality is already present in ctxtools, which is a prelude to rewriting texutil i.e. a new sorting / index etc mechanism (maybe xml based) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
