I did have a texexec.ini in the proper location. A little more research on my part found the trouble: If I was in the home directory for texexec.pl when I tried to build a format, I had no need to use a FQPN for texexec. This means that there were no '/' or '\' characters in the program name perl was looking at in order to set the $pathslash variable, so it defaulted to the UNIX style $pathslash '/' and the $IniPath = `$kpsewhich ....` line failed since $kpsewhich contained 'C:/TEX/BIN/WIN32/kpsewhich' as opposed to 'C:\TEX\BIN\WIN32\kpsewhich' I also fixed the momory pool size problem, so now I am context'ing away under WIN98. Thanks for the help and patience. -- Tom Porter txporter@mindspring.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?'
