Hello Scott,

First, there is a bug in the 1.9.17 release as well as in the current 
cvs version.
The conversion of the following equation has a bug:

\begin{equation}
L=\frac{L_0}{\sqrt{(1-\left(\frac{\upsilon}{c}\right)^2}}
\end{equation}

The produced field function content (with semicolon as delimiter) is

EQ L= \F(L\s\do5(0); \R(;(1- \b ( \F(u;c))\s\up14(2)))

while it should be

EQ L= \F(L\s\do5(0); \R(1- \b ( \F(u;c))\s\up14(2)))


Second, only in the current cvs version, conversion of pictures 
works, but conversion of equations to bitmaps fails under WinXP:

1.) The filenames must not be quoted. If quoted, the call to the batch file is
latex2pn.bat -d 300 -o 6 "l2r_0001"
which causes the batch file to try processing "l2r_0001".tex which 
obviously doesn't exist.
Don't ask me why the quotes aren't removed by the command processor.

2.) Having fixed this (and the call to pdf2pnga), there remains the 
problem that the bitmaps resulting from equation conversion aren't 
inserted in the rtf file while the bitmaps resulting from graphics 
conversion are.
I haven't found why.
