You should use \input instead of \include. \input will not try to create an auxiliary file. You could also use a style file afkap.sty to be used with \usepackage{afkap}. Just adding a line \ProvidesPackage{afkap} prior to you hyphenation list should be sufficient for a start. > > The permissions look like this: > > -rw-rw-rw- 1 jhspies js 992 Apr 24 10:42 afkap.tex > > Why did the behaviour of LaTeX change on this point? Check the permissions of the directory where LaTeX wanted to create the aux file. Torsten
