Hi all,

Lately I downloaded the pdftex zip with the version 0.14e. Furthermore I got
cont-tmf.zip of 06.06.2000. After having unpacked the  new files in the
respective directories on my Windows95 machine I tried to make the format
files with:

    texexec --make nl de uk

Texexec was version 2.1.
I got an error on the fact that the tex\texmf-var\web2c folder was not
present and that the tex.pool file did not macht:

"tex.pool doesn't mach; tangle me again (or fix the path)"

I created the tree and placed the 3 files pdftex.pool and pdfetex.pool and
tex.pool herein.

Hereafter I retried the generation. The error on the not maching tex.pool
file remained.
My version of fmtutil is from begin april 1999 and the tex.pool file from
end March 1999.

My questions are:

- Which other files do have to be moved to the folder texmf-var\web2c? Is
the folder texmf\web2c obsolete?

- What is the problem with fmtutil.exe - tex.pool. (I tried to find a newer
version of the latter file on ctan, however in their archives the file is
even older than mine!)

- Is there any way to simplify the updating matter. Each time I do upgrade I
end up with a non working system!

Thanks for assistance, Willi
