I once created a "TeX" directory for all the TeX-related `software I culled from the net but then had to link it to "tex" to avoid `confusion: ` ` "I looked for /usr/src/local/src/tex, just like you said,` ` but it doesn't exist." ` "It's spelled capital T, and capital X, but small e." ` "Huh?" ` `It's a mistake. ` I already retracted the capitalization. By the way, the discussion should be continued in news.groups. Please obey the followup: line. -- Piet* van Oostrum, Dept of Computer Science, Utrecht University, Padualaan 14, P.O.
