excellent  :-)

well - Karl sent me a copy of  updmap.pl  vers 23807, and  this works OK with my Mandriva Linux box + TL2011 installed.

however, I notice that  it does not generate the 
.../texmf-var/fonts/map/dvipdfm/..... stuff 
(this /is/ generated by  the equiv bash script of TL2010)
so I don't know whether this is as expected or not

anyway - so fa so good - thanks all.

regards,
Dick
