Re: Miktex 2.9 problems with package management and update.

OFF LIST

Good morning, Andreas!

It was nice to see your name this morning.  Noreen and I have been in
Victoria twice in the past two years, but have always been very
busy---Noreen's mother is now 88, and her house has needed some repairs,
so we have been "general contractors", and I have been "electrical
installer"...

Hopefully the next time that we come I will have a bit more time to
connect with former colleagues and friends.
