In this case: $ echo kpsewhich --expand-var '$TEXMFLOCAL' kpsewhich --expand-var $TEXMFLOCAL I assume a similar trick is possible on windows, yes? >>And the $@ -> "$@" change can be done in the Unix stubs only, so the >>change won't affect Windows (which uses .bat files and a different >>syntax). >> > so in texmfstart: > > f.write("#{program} #{callname} \"$@\"\012") Yes. That reminds me: I assume on MacOsX the same stubs will work except that \012 has to be changed into \015. Can someone test that? Cheers, taco
