It still might have something to do with permissions... As for calling any Win* system a "real operating-system"... I have noticed that changing permissions is sometimes/always disallowed on existing file even though ownership and the like appears to be OK. Does cygwin require something special there? >Dennis Allison writes: > >> Thanks to your comments I have gotten tex/lates working.
