At any rate, I took the '$' off and it ran OK. Hm. When I look at the code, it looks like texexec cannot find it's ini file.

I will send you the latest, updated fptex make utility (there was a bug in previous ones) in a separate mail. Untested, but reported ok by Stazek. There is a new installation manual, which explains installing texexec; a dedicated miktex section will be added in a few days (Walter Kehowski had a smooth installation). > This would be pretty neat to get to work under win98.

(btw, I run fptex binaries, not the whole system, in a somewhat unusual texmf tree) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
