luac5.1.exe [TO] luac.exe etc. Alternatively, you can use LuaTeX itself as the lua interpreter and compiler. That is, the same binary will act as:
LuaTeX proper when called luatex(.exe) lua when called texlua(.exe) (equivalent to luatex --luaonly) luac, the compiler, when called texluac.(exe)
So you don't even need lua anymore. i see. but on windows you waste more than 7mb disk space this way. installing the lua binaries costs only 288kb. so where is the benefit?
there must be a better way.

- no need to install anything else (no huge ruby/perl or whatever) - bytcode compiler in sync with luatex internals - texlua has the libs that we need built in
has to do with unix where the shebang line will only work with texlua since "luatex --luaonly" cannot be given, but there it's a symlink on windows one can copy and/or create an alias or use a small stub; future versions may have a core dll and three small binaries ... who knows 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
