This morning I uninstalled the Sept. 5 rc and installed today's (Sept. 18) rc in C:\TeXLive on a Win98 system with HOME=c:\home to avoid all cases where spaces get into file paths. Again, kpathsea run via the command line found my texexec.ini, but the irun generated texexec.exe failed to find it. This time I modified "sub found_ini_file" in texexec.pl to replace the "/" with "\" in $kpsewhich. This is rather odd, as in most cases not involving a command line you can use "/" in file paths. There are probably other places were backtick is used that will require the same change, and they are only to be used for "$dosish" systems. It is past my bedtime, so I'll have to cut this short. Weather permitting, I'll be out of the office until October, but I'll try to post some reasonable patches at the earliest opportunity. -- George N. White III
