Thanks Georg. $ kpsewhich --show-path=.tex .;C:/texmf/tex/plain//;C:/texmf/tex/generic//C:/texmf/tex// This is a kpsewhich using ';' as path separator. $ kpsewhich --show-path=.tex .:!!/usr/share/texmf-local/tex/generic//:!!/usr/share/texmf/tex/generic//:/home/ef/texmf/tex///:!!/usr/share/texmf-local/tex///:!!/usr/share/texmf/tex/// This is a kpsewhich using ':' as path separator. So, you look for ';' in the output and if it is there SEP=';', otherwise SEP=':'. Can't fail. Thanks, anyway. -- Enrico
