maybe just perl texcalc.pl if i remember right it's a perltk script; it dates from the time (1999 or so) that taco and i were exploring perltk .. in the same group or apps there is texwork (an tex oriented editor writen in perltk that i wrote plus some goodies - it still runs ok i just saw) and texshow that was later rewritten by taco to handle the xml variant if the syntax definitions 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

I don't understand a thing about it. It's like klingon to me. ;O) Nevertheless, I'm curious. Where do you input that ? FYI, I'm on Windows. Alan On Wed, Jun 11, 2008 at 9:54 PM, Michael Hallgren wrote:

Mama mia ! That definitely doesn't motivate me to switch to something Unix-ish. Forgive me, I'm a simple soul. ;O) Good you've put it here for future reference nevertheless. Best, Alan

On Windows you can create a file texcalc.bat with contents perl C:\path-to-texcalc\texcalc.pl and put it somewhere into PATH. Then, you will be able to call texcalc from console. If you want it in Start Menu, I guess that you can simply put a link to that bat file (or copy that bat file there). Mojca
