There are mingw compile patches by Siep Kroonenberg. http://tex.aanhet.net/mingtex/ I see Siep is on the list. Siep, do you have any plans to continue to work on this? It looks quite nice, but without any installer or previewer, and being based on teTeX 2.0.2, it'll take some doing to be useful to distribute in this brave new year. Thanks, k
