Part of it is that build-improvements extracts the TeX file in the same directory as it latexs it. The problem can be papered over in many different way: (1) add .tex unconditionally. (2) replace .pamphlet with .tex and pay attention (3) extract to a different directory (4) find a btter solution. -- Gaby _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list Axiom-developer@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
