Hi All, Two quick questions: 1. Is there a variable I can set to have all the temporary work files placed in a separate directory for texexec runs? 2. I have a project/product/component structure, and all works fine except that in my environment I have an abbreviation file which I \input in the environment file. when I try to generate a document from one of the product subdirectories, tex can't find the input file. The envirnment file and the abbreviation file are are in the same directory. A bit like this: /main_directory tri_env.tex (the environment file) tri_abbrev (the abbreviation file) tri_proj (the project file) /product1 tri_prod.tex (the product file) I am executing texec from the "product1" directory.
