<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><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> </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>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
<DIV>Steve</DIV>
