I am on MacOSX, so it's OK.  Thanks again.

BTW, a Japanese who distributes TeX for windows seems to have built  
xetex for WIN32, does Jonathan Kew hear about it?

it is on
http://www.fsci.fuk.kindai.ac.jp/kakuto/win32-ptex/web2c75.html
(middle of the page; the page is in Japanese)


Since I have no windows, so I cannot test it, but it might be of  
interest for someone.

Best,

Shunichi Amano
