I am hurt, shocked, and amazed that noone has pointed you to Grace, at http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/grace/ It currently has a draft version of the Config_Files package, which does exactly what you want, and was discussed extensively last spring. Unfortunately, the administration of the Grace web site is a bit lacking (hint to Ted Dennison :), so the easiest way to get the Config_Files package is by browsing the CVS repository, at: http://savannah.nongnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/grace/grace/ and the documentation for Config_Files is only available as TeXinfo source, at: http://savannah.nongnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/grace/doc/ I hope to make this cleaner soon. Let me know if Grace.Config_Files meets your needs. -- -- Stephe
