I also sometimes use images. So, I install the packages for these things on MS Windows. README.W32 recommends using the Ezwinports builds of these tools. Today I was installing those. Each one of them is a separate zip file that creates a little unix-like directory hierarchy with a "bin", "share", etc. Dealing with those directly would require a lot of PATH entries and Info-default-directory-list entries. Does anyone know if its possible to install them all of them into the same hierarchy? BR, Robert Thorpe
