I downloaded it, unzipped TeXCAD.exe to a place in my PATH, and ran texcad. The first time, it gave an error box, something about the registry not finding a file. As usual for MS error messages, it didn't say what file. But then, when I tried it again, to reproduce the error message, I didn't get the error message. I _strongly_ urge you to not use the Windows Registry for _anything_! It is a royal pain, hard to test, hard to debug. But the worst thing is that the user cannot change settings on a per-process basis; the registry is strictly per-user. Anyway, I look forward to having a WYSIWYG tool for {picture}s on Windows; I've actually been looking for one for quite a while. And it's written in Ada, so I have some chance of fixing it/improving it! Thanks! Hmm. The menus/commands are going to take some getting used to. Just like LaTeX :). -- -- Stephe
