Hi,
I forgot to write about a small difference between
Windows and other systems concerning the order of
file search.
[1] Windows
(a) \input foo
try foo.tex first, if not found then try foo
(b) \input foo.tex
try foo.tex
(c) \input foo.bar
try foo.bar first, if not found then try foo.bar.tex
[2] Other systems
(a) \input foo
try foo.tex first, if not found then try foo
(b) \input foo.tex
try foo.tex
(c) \input foo.bar
try foo.bar.tex first, if not found then try foo.bar
The behavior in the case (c) is different. Please remind this
if something seemed strange.
BTW, allow_multiple_suffixes, which is written in both
texmf.cnf and texmf.cnf-4WIN, does not give any effect
in all systems.
Thanks,
Akira
