[tex-live] personal input file

[Steve MC Han]

Thank you very much for your responses.
 
I followed your instruction and it showed:
 
c:/TexLive2007/../texmf-local
 
But there's no texmf-local subdirectory under TexLive2007. Instead there's texmf-local directory right under c:/ along with TexLive2007. (c:/TexLive2007, c:/texmf-local,...)
 
Under c:/texmf-local there are 4 subdirectories: doc, dvips, fonts and tex.
 
Can you tell me which?
 
For upgrading: last year I tried to upgrade to TexLive2008, but I have had bad experiences, so I try not to anymore as long as TexLive2007 along with metapost 0.9 work. (Or until new TexLive could be downloaded with a couple of simple  clicks)
 
Thanks,
Steve

To be short: in TEXMFHOME

E.g.
%USERPROFILE%/texmf/tex/latex
for latex stuff or
%USERPROFILE%/texmf/tex/plain
for plain tex stuff.

For precise location of TEXMFHOME on Windows read TL 2007 documentation (search for TEXMFHOME).

More details and some explanation could be found here

P.S. I advise you to upgrade your TeX system.
