what puzzles me most is that since tex is not that demanding, it is still so dependent (maybe only pdftex with its graphic libraries is a problem)
It is only dependent because it was created on my (brand new) machine. If it was recompiled on an older machine, that executable would work fine on my machine as well. But my binaries will not run on older installations, and I am not going to *downgrade* my machine just so I can create more portable binaries. Cheers, Taco
