foils (foiltex) isn't part of teTeX (because of license issues) - are you using the same version of foils on the two machines. (I'm using version 2.1.4a which detects pdflatex automatically.) How do you specify the papersize - just by given the option letterpaper to the foils class? I don't think that works for the newer pdflatex (if you are using an old foils version). Hans
