Re: Installing new files into texmf-local tree.

Hello all,

thanks for the info. I assumed that just anywhere
'below' texmf-local would be okay to install new
files, I didn't realize that it is assumed that there
is a #/tex/latex structure in the tree (seems fair
enough, though). I'll check the config and see where I
need to store my files.

I may be mistaken, but I think that MiKTeX is slightly
less strict in this sense, but then again, a Windows
directory tree cannot (should not?) be compared to a
Linux/UNIX one.

Thanks for the info so far,
Wilfred
