That didn't work for some reason. Fmtutil failed on pdftex and pdfetex. Then I reinstalled TeXLive 2003, the only change being that I did not first wipe out the web2c directory. Now TeXlive seems to work. As you may have noticed, the TeXlive installation program doesn't wipe out an existing web2c. Just why retaining an old web2c directory helps things along I don't know. -- John Culleton Able Typesetters and Indexers http://wexfordpress.com
