    Dinesh> Hello all,

Please don't post html formatted mails to the list. You might want to
look at your post in the archive and see for your yourself:

Thanks for using pdfslide. However, I would request you to use
pdfscreen instead which is more supported than the pdfslide (survives
in the CTAN just for academic reasons, should fade away in due
course). pdfscreen provides all the functionality of its little sister
plus much more.

You might classify all the packages, font definition files, etc.,
create separate directories for each bundle below your
$TEXMF/tex/latex, move the files to these new directories, run texhash
(or whatever in your distribution) to update the TeX file database.
You're done.

Wonderful!

    Dinesh> By the way which kind of environments are \begin{screen}
    Dinesh> and \begin{print} used in various chap??.tex in tutorials
    Dinesh> on TUG India?

These are provided by pdfscreen. The contents of screen environment
will be output only in screen version and that of print in print
version only.  This is necessary when we want to format a particular
item, say a color table which we need in color in screen, while in
print we need only monochrome or certain things which are not relevant
in print like a navigation button to take you to another page should
appear only in screen version.
