Hans,
Yes, it was read only. But I thought I tried changing that to no avail. The
only solution that worked was renaming the directory to Text. Then it worked.
But I'll look more closely on Monday when I am back into my office.

Hi,
A next release of texmfstart will provide
texmfstart bin:xsltproc kpse:somefile.xsl somefile.xml
this means that one can put for instance xsl scripts (and whatever file) in the

Hi,
I added a feature to texmfstart to make itself independent of libraries,
which means, no dependency on 'base', so who had problems with that ...

I don't know, unfortunately. Hans sent me a proposed fix, but it
didn't work. One problem is that passing multiple options is working
on Hans's setup, so the problem is elusive. I need to learn a bit of
ruby.

Just for the record: I've found a simple solution, which works OK here
on MacOS X (should be the same on any unix):

Very sly. And the short form also worked:
