Hi,

A next release of texmfstart will provide

   texmfstart bin:xsltproc kpse:somefile.xsl somefile.xml

this means that one can put for instance xsl scripts (and whatever file) in the 
tree without the need for explicit paths; another application is:

   texmfstart bin:scite kpse:cont-sys.tex

(or whatever editor you use); so, this will locate the actual cont-sys file and 
let you edit it, which is more convenient than locating the file in the tree first.

Another (experimental) feature is:

   texmfstart --iftouched=old.pdf,new.pdf dosomething.rb old.pdf new.pdf

which will only execute 'dosomething' when old and new have different time 
stamps. (This is a prelude to a more advanced 'runtime' graphic manipulation 
feature.)

I also updated the manual (will be synced when i update the distribution).

Hans

Hi,

I added a feature to texmfstart to make itself independent of libraries, 
which means, no dependency on 'base', so who had problems with that ... 
i need a volunteer

Hans,

Yes, it was read only. But I thought I tried changing that to no avail. The
only solution that worked was renaming the directory to Text. Then it worked.

But I'll look more closely on Monday when I am back into my office.

Did you have time to look anymore at my texmfstart issue on my Win95
machine at home?
