But then it has to be fixed, not thrown away ... I bet that the main reason is one of the many "if (MikTeX)" switches in the source code assuming that MikTeX is running on windows. Are there any MikTeX/Lunux users around? (I work on windows 99% of time, but if I manage to install MikTeX on the linux partition, I'll give it a try.) The other thing is: I have no idea how the executables are created. I sent quite a few requests, so that now finally the ruby scripts are used instead of the old perl-based ones. But I don't have the slightest idea how they work under Linux. Mojca
