Yes, I have backups, Norbert, but does TLMGR not keep only the most
recent ? Because before today's update I was running a version of
"xdvipdfmx" <i>older</i> than Tim's, so if I do a "tlmgr restore"
will that not simply restore the <i>status ante bellum</i> ? It
does not seem possible to me that it could restore a version of the
program that I never installed.<br>
<br>
Looking at "texlive.info", it would seem that the file that I
require is :<br>
<ul>
<li><a
href="https://texlive.info/tlnet-archive/2020/11/11/tlnet/archive/dvipdfmx.win32.r56903.tar.xz">https://texlive.info/tlnet-archive/2020/11/11/tlnet/archive/dvipdfmx.win32.r56903.tar.xz</a></li>
</ul>
<p>and downloading and extracting it, then trying ".\dvipdfmx --v"
does indeed report <br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>This is dvipdfmx Version 20201111 by the DVIPDFMx project team<br>
</li>
</ul>
so how do I go about asking TLMGR to install ?from? that .tar.xz
file ?<br>
