Hi Krewe:
My employer's Office of the Chief Information Security Officer (OCISO)
requires a little bit more information about software than
"I need it to do my job!"
before they will allow it to be installed.
Has anyone written up a brief description of the many *.exe
in any of the various distributions?
fyi: I just received my TeXLive 2007 DVD
and want to have it installed on my work computer.
example
pdfLaTeX.exe: input : text file
default extension: .tex
output: Adobe v5 .pdf
When I fill out this form I intend to be thorough
so as not to leave lingering questions in their minds.
What are other file extensions that may cause concern?
*.dll?
Any pointers would be appreciated.
thanx
