I think we could reach an agreement and let texexec config files go (or be allowed to go) in the %texmf%/miktext/config folder. Sounds pretty sensible to me. And of course, when multiple trees are available, the order of search should be the same as standard MiKTeX does. Can Hans work this out with Christian? DA> for miktex set TeXPassString to --alias=context I really wonder if the above is needed. Can someone really please explain what the --alias command is used for? I also add --terminal=oem, so that accented characters display correctly. I decided *not* to pass the --src-special string as well because there is a "bug" (not really a bug) in MiKTeX (any version, AFAIK), so that pdf-variants of TeX don't ignore the --src-specials. pdfTeX, when outputting PDF, echoes "Non-PDF special ignored!" for each non-PDF special it meets. Which is fine. But --src-specials *should* be ignored silenty (or, even bettern, in PDF-production mode the --src-special flag should be ignored). DA> for miktex set MpBatchFlag to --interaction=batchmode IIRC, there was a bug in MiKTeX 2.0 where MetaPost *lacked* the interaction mode flag. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
