Asterix? Are you seriously suggesting that famous cartoon characters
should be used to execute LaTeX code? I rather think that this is a
quite inappropriate use of MiKTeX and, frankly, you should be
thoroughly ashamed of yourself.

Re: MikTeX package updates under ISA

Hi List ... Sorry for duplicate postings!!  Somehow postings from our
university did not initially go through and I used another route.  Then
after 3 days these appeared!

Hi ... Our university is in the process of rolling out Microsoft’s

problem installing MikTex


Hi,

I downloaded MikTex about three years ago and just got around to trying to get it to work recently.  There was a
problem, so I uninstalled, re-downloaded, and tried again, this time with MikTex 2.6.  The very same
problem occurred.  It is this:

If I go into tex thought the DOS prompt (by typing "latex" -- I get "This is pdftex...  (MikTex 2.6)") or
through an IDE, I get the same problem:

the command:

\begin{document}

gives this error:

!LaTex Error:  The font size coomand \normalsize is not defined:
     there is probably something wrong with the class file.

the error is fatal and I can't do anything.

The documentation doesn't say anything about this.  The known issues doesn't say anything about this.  I've
tried reinstalling several times.  I'm stuck!

Wynship

makeindex bug?


bug in makeindex ? 

a .idx file with the following two lines

\indexentry{algorithm!{Ba}}{32}
\indexentry{algorithm!{BC}}{75}

puts the BC entry before Ba. It always puts capital letters first. The miktex documentation says that by
default it should be case insensitive. 

On the other hand if this is not a subentry:

\indexentry{Ba}{32}
\indexentry{BC}{75}

then it sorts it correctly.

Anyone knows a solution ? 

Thanks, 
Ofer

Try without {}
\index{algorithm!Ba}

and

\index{algorithm!BC}

Re: makeindex bug?

Thanks.
The problem is that latex produces the .ind file with these braces. It all 
started because the index of my document is messed up because of this. Is 
there a way to tell latex to not add these braces ?

Can you send a minimal example ?

MikTex installation

Windows XP ver 5.1, service pack 2

I have downloaded and installed/uninstalled

MikTex 2.6 Basic and MikTex 2.6 Complete

each several times.

There never is a file MikTex.ini, meaning I cannot run
MikTeX at all -- WinTex doesn't recognize it because it is
looking for the file

...\miktex\config\miktex.ini

and there is none.  Any suggestions?

Could someone who has MikTex 2.6 installed and working
please attach the missing file to a reply.

Thank you,

HF

There is no miktex.ini in MiKTeX 2.6 or MiKTeX 2.5.
