Not features. Updates. Those updates might be new features, yes, but they don't have to be. They may simply be improved functionality and bug fixes. They may also include changes that break backward compatibility. Which is another reason (apart from new features) why not all modern LaTeX documents will compile with teTeX. > Then why would you want a TeXLive > with missing features?

I think a reasonable subset can be created that will satisfy most people's needs. BasicTeX seems to fit the bill. -- Joost Kremers joostkremers@fastmail.fm Selbst in die Unterwelt dringt durch Spalten Licht EN:SiS(9)
