I would have rather thought with the popularity in the non-Windows world of LaTex, etcetera that someone would have ported this to FreeBSD by now. I have a version of "MiKTEX" running on one of my Windows machines. I think I will just stick with that for the time being. I don't have a backup FreeBSD machine and the thought of installing what is evidently not an officially supported product and possibly breaking my system is just not worth the risk. I'll wait until it is ported properly. -- Carmel ✌ carmel_ny@hotmail.com
