<div>Thank you very much for your responses.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I followed your instruction and it showed:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>c:/TexLive2007/../texmf-local</div>
<div> </div>
<div>But there's no texmf-local subdirectory under TexLive2007. Instead there's texmf-local directory right under c:/ along with TexLive2007. (c:/TexLive2007, c:/texmf-local,...)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Under c:/texmf-local there are 4 subdirectories: doc, dvips, fonts and tex.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Can you tell me which?</div>

<div>For upgrading: last year I tried to upgrade to TexLive2008, but I have had bad experiences, so I try not to anymore as long as TexLive2007 along with metapost 0.9 work. (Or until new TexLive could be downloaded with a couple of simple clicks)</div>
<div> </div></td></tr></tbody></table></blockquote><div>What kind of bad experiences?<br><br>If your network connection is good, you unpack install-tl.zip, run install-tl.bat, select what to install and wait. texmf-local intentionally is not below TeXLive2007, your personal file will be used by later TL versions as well, no need to reinstall.<br>
<br>My computer sits on a gigabit backbone, our local mirror is about 5 miles apart so installation of scheme-full takes about 9 minutes but normal users will probably have to wait longer.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
