MiKTeX 1.08 Changes (August 1997) ================================= New Features ------------ * MiKTeX supports multiple TEXMF directory trees. This feature allows you to make use of an existing comprehensive TEXMF tree (such as a shared teTeX installation). * Support of UNC file names. It should now be possible to do without a drive letter when you setup a shared MiKTeX installation. * Certain internal TeX parameters have been increased. * MakeTeX{PK,TFM} now determines the standard destination directory. (In the past, all generated fonts ended up in a temporary directory tree.) Please note that the new method is not compatible with DviWin, which cannot search recursively for PK files. You can restore the old method by changing back the value "PK Temp Dir". * MakeIndex searches recursively for style files. * It is possible to define per-user configuration settings (via `configure --personal CFGFILE'). See the local guide, for more information. New Applications --------- * Modified version of GNU Makeinfo which converts Texinfo docs into RTF. You can use this utility to make WinHelp files from Texinfo docs. * 8-bit enhanced version of BibTeX with extra large processing capacity. Executable is named BIBTEX8.EXE. Documentation is in DOC\BIBTEX8. * MakeTeXFMT makes a new format file and moves it into the format folder. Upated ------ * dvips 5.74 * MetaPost 0.632 * LaTeX Jun'97 Resolved Problems ----------------- * TeX capacity exceeded. * On-the-fly generation of fonts fails, if the font sources are placed in the current directory.
