Re: MiKTeX 2.9 Configuration file

Dear Ulrike,

thank you for your help. After some tests I get the picture that the 
portable branch of MiKTeX 2.9 constrains the local setting of 
configuration files (or is it a bug?).

As the documentation says (miktex.pdf) 'dest-names-size' is a runtime 
parameter of the pdftex engine. How can I read those parameters from an 
file? I tried 'initexmf --edit-config-file=pdftex' and edit the file, 
but this doesn't work.

Best regards
Reinhard
