So I don't know what goes on in the MSWin world any more. Specifically I am writing a guide for typesetting beginners. What should I tell them is a good way to execute e.g., texexec from a Windows environment? Many of them are afraid of the command line. My instinct is to describe a Vim command such as :!texexec % or just give them a script to do that, but there may be a better alternative. Thoughts? -- John Culleton
