Now fptex is for win32. Can I use it for > windows 98? How? this is in fact a mailing list for discussing the future development of latex; please don't fill it with queries such as this: the usenet group comp.text.tex is a far better place for non-latex discussion. in answer to your question -- win32 is the name of the interface; 'doze nt offers rather more functionality than either 95 or 98, but both miktex and fptex will work under all three `operating systems'. r
