[texpoint-users] TexPoint error under MS Windows Vista

TexPoint texpoint at necula.org
Tue Aug 21 10:02:48 PDT 2007


Hi,

  Can you please send the contents of the texpoint/configure/information (to
me, not the entire list). I suspect that this is a gswin32c problem and I
want to see what version pstoedit is trying to use. 

Thanks,
George.
