Hello Vincent and everyone else, Information about the changes to texi2dvi that I've made:
No longer use a trick of renaming the recorder file to *.flz. In fact, no special tricks at all in texi2dvi to handle this case. So the recorder file will have the fls suffix, which Vincent pointed out was what would be expected. The current working directory is back at the beginning of TEXINPUTS. If someone uses an "fl" index with the recorder, I expect either the index to be blank, or to be the recorder file interpreted as TeX source (a great ugly mess). I've had both happen for different test files, although am not sure what made the difference. It might work anyway, by the same fluke that got it to work with MikTeX before. With a change I prepared to texinfo.tex, fl indices also worked with the recorder as well as the log file. This change changed the file extensions that are used for such an index. I pointed out that the log files were being grep'd a lot to get the list of generated files. This won't happen as much now. This was a big change to a complex script with many ways of running it, so it's quite possible that something's broken. (I've deliberately refrained from uploading texi2dvi to the FTP site for the last few revisions for that reason.) Can anybody try the script with LaTeX source with BibTeX, or else send me a test case? I want to make sure the BibTeX files are checked properly. Gavin
