that's ok since it listening to requests (in the tools menu yoy will find an entry for the interface) btw, i'll upload a newer version of exampler later this week, one that does multithreading (and also works ok on linux -)

I have done this once on my XP corporate edition (for the TeXLive package), but it took some fiddling and a lot of cursing, so nowadays I have a workaround. The real problem: The native CD burning program on Windows XP does NOT understand .iso. The XP solution: Get a program that knows how to either burn ISOs on CD or rip them open so that you can burn the contents on CD (at least TeXLive easily survives through this). I had something simple, I don't even remember the name of it any more, but for example http://www.newfreeware.com/search.php3?q=burn+iso+image looks like it could help. I'm sure similar freeware/shareware is available all over the place... "burn iso image" or "open iso image" or "extract iso image" might be good search words. If you want to replace the XP dummy CD burner with something good, it might be a good idea to invest ca 100 euros to Ahead Nero, for example. My workaround: I downloaded TeXLive at work, opened the bz2 package and burned the ISO image on CD with my Win2k that has compatible software (Nero, I think). This was a lot faster (and also easier) than losing my patience by trying to extract and copy the iso image on WindowsXP. The latest TeXLive installed beautifully from the CD to XP (except I still don't know why my TOC doesn't compile now), getting to as far as the installation phase was the hard part. (I'm NOT amused with XP's built-in CD burning software.) One of the Windows people, Mari
