Re: gwTeX: FatalError : Your format does not match the base files!

[Matthias Weber <matweber@indiana.edu>]

Hi Alan,

that's not it, but:
-- the files in /texmf.local/web2C are from September
-- I do not have a pdfetex subdirectory in /texmf.local/web2C
I can't locate any other copies of the files on my machine, either...

Matthias
