<DIV><FONT face="Arial Unicode MS">I received the TeX Collection DVD recently
and hope to install an updated version of XeTeX (Windows XP platform) when I've
finished a current job. But I think that the recent discussion on the list
about bugs with PSTricks must have coincided with the time when the DVD was
being produced: presumably, in that case, better to go the CTAN site and
install from there? I do use PSTricks quite regularly, and have had
trouble with some of its commands in the 2007 distribution.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Unicode MS"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Unicode MS">If that is the case, are there any tips, and
especially advice on how to update regularly on to a Windows platform?
I've only installed XeTeX once (the 2007 version, using the DVD), and I recall
from earlier discussions that updating on the Mac is a relatively trivial
operation, whereas there seem to be no ready-made tools for doing this
painlessly in Windows.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Unicode MS"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Unicode MS">Any advice appreciated. I could cheat
by installing experimentally on a spare PC, but it would be nice to get things
working on my main machine first time round.</FONT></DIV>
