[fptex] TeXSetup and net

[Fabrice Popineau]

I just did an install and everything went ok. The problem seems to be
that I forgot to recreate the TeXSetup.exe link to TeXSetup-1.0.6.exe
ont the ftp server.

You  _must run TeXSetup.exe from the top level directory_ and not from
the setupw32/ subdirectory :

c:\tmp>dir
 Directory of c:\TMP

23/01/2001  11:41       <DIR>          .
23/01/2001  11:41       <DIR>          ..
15/01/2001  01:04       <DIR>          full
22/01/2001  17:40                  745 getfptex.bat
15/01/2001  00:27       <DIR>          setupw32
12/01/2001  20:41              593 920 TeXSetup-1.0.6.exe
15/01/2001  00:21       <DIR>          tpm
15/01/2001  00:45       <DIR>          zip

c:\tmp>TeXSetup-1.0.6.exe
...

Everything is ok. No error in the log file.

Uninstalling from the menu is ok too.

Now, running from another directory using the `--source-directory'
option : _there was a bug_ .

Please try the fixed TeXSetup-1.0.7.exe (no need to burn a new cd, the
`--source-directory' option should be ok by now).

ftp://ftp.dante.de/pub/fptex/0.4/TeXSetup-1.0.7.exe

* fixed `--source-directory' bug
* getfptex.bat now has 2 options : 
        - `getfptex' retrieves up to `recommended' level
        - `getfptex full' retrieves up to `full' level
        - `getfptex full supp' retrieves also the net available
           packages such as perl and xemacs
* if you have downloaded everything using `full' and `supp' as above,
  you should be able to install everything without net access
* under NT/2K, permissions are granted to everyone to read the main
  tex directory, and full permissions are granted on the texmf-var
  subdirectory. Suggestions are welcome on this topic.
* fixed another bug about the handling of the `TeXLive already
  installed' registry key

Sorry for this, there are just too many options right now.
