It isn't hard to install a newer pdftex from source. You can either replace your current versions or put the updated versions in a new place (e.g., /usr/local). You might want to get the 20011202 beta version of teTeX and install the whole thing -- I've been using it a bit on both Cygwin and SGI Irix without problems, and last night I installed it on my home Mandrake system without difficulty (but haven't tested it beyond building the formats, so there could be some bugs). -- George White <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Halifax, Nova Scotia
