That did work actually, and after running texhash everything worked fine -- at least for "latex file". "tex file" and "pdftex file" (which I am very interested in) doesn't work yet, but I think I'm going to wait with fixing this until potato is available on CD. If time weren't that rare ... Anyway, thanks for all your help, I'll start reading some LaTeX books now. MfG viktor -- Viktor Rosenfeld E-Mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] HertzSCHLAG: http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~rosenfel/
