Re: texexec

[David Arnold <darnold@northcoast.com>]

Hans,

Here is my texexec.ini. I am a Miktex user. See any problems?

% This is texexec.ini, the file used by texexec to determine
% where to
find files, what tex to use, what flags to pass, 
% etc. These settings are
based on web2c. 

% this should be set to 'myself, tetex, whatever' 

%set
TeXShell  to  tetex 
%set  TeXShell  to  atpragma
set TeXShell to miktex

%
some defaults 

set  UsedInterfaces  to  en
set  UserInterface   to  en
set
 TeXExecutable   to  tex
