in thread perl module for math representation...

The download links work fine. The file does not have a .cgi extension. It has a .exe extension on Win32, otherwise it is just called 'mimetex' Rename it. Download it in binary mode. This is for linux. Change the path to sun|macosx|netbsd|freebsd......

    Thanks!!

    I realised that what I saw as mimetex.cgi on some sites is a binary file and not what I was used to seeing - a perl script. So I was expecting to download a perl script - silly me.

    Thanks once again for helping :)

    cheers
