Thanks a lot for your reports. > I think you forgot to put the windows version of dvipdfmx.dll in the > minimals tree. Mea culpa! I fixed that. I didn't notice that one needs dll and nobody has complained so far. Out of curiosity: how do you use it? Does ConTeXt work OK with it at all? That binary is on the shortlist of being put to a special section that one would need to install as a separate module (option in mtx-update.lua for example), so I would like to know how/when it is still used. Also: that binary is badly supported in tikz for ConTeXt for example. So it is nice to know how much one needs to invest in trying to keep compatibility with those engines. ## afm2pl.exe afm2tfm.exe ttf2afm.exe ## bibtex.exe ## dvipdfmx.exe dvips.exe ## Knuthian pltotf.exe tftopl.exe vftovp.exe vptovf.exe > also: mp help tools like mpto and dvitomp are not needed anymore. you > can safely remove them. I removed makempx.exe, and mpto.exe. I did that for unix flavours last time, but forgot about windows. Now about dvitomp.exe. Last time when I tried removing dvitomp it failed, but I forgot to ask Taco at what place one should fix it. See the conversation below. I'm just wondering: should these binaries go out of W32TeX as well? Taco? Does "are no longer distributed" mean: "sorry, we don't care about trying to compile and distribute them ourselves" or rather "no reason why one would distribute them/one should not distribute them"? >>> The one but big user-visible change is that the btex ... etex >>> label conversion is now handled internally instead of via >>> the external "mpware" programs.
