I know that, but see no reason for such namings except possibly a weak copyright claim. These file names are from the CTAN and TeX Live distributions. I think the name discrepancy is a just a holdover from the days of 8.3 file names. Vertical scrolling of .dvi files has improved somewhat, but still...

I select a block (a paragraph or so) first. Then I click in the highlighted (selected) area. Depending on where the pointer is, the selection clears up or not. If I right-click on a word, the selected block clears up and that particular word gets selected. If I click somewhere between the lines (st...

Two small bugs: After selecting text, I often click with the right-hand mouse button somewhere in the selection, to go to “cut�. Depending on where my mouse pointer is, the selection sometimes clears up. This wastes time because selecting a large portion of text takes time and it is unpleasant ...

I installed the Dec 19 v6 update smoothly, but the behavior described in earlier post "Three bugs in v6 Beta" changed little; the most severe bug is, of course, that initexing a local format file fails for the same reason as before (even though the correct Additional TeX Input path is giv...

UPDATE FAILED! Using Help > Updates > Check for updates now. It got as far as the step "Uncompressing file pctexv6.exe" (right after step where the open PCTeX v6 is automatically closed and then "Replacing file pctexv6.exe"), then crashed. We've had a few reports of this and wil...

There did not appear to be any interaction at the user level between Quickshelf and PCTeX.

Let us know if this happens a...

Can you describe more of what was happening between PCTeX and MS Quickshelf. What was PCTeX doing when the fault occurred?

Running the PCTeX 6 beta, as the installation was finishing, it asked for the registration code, however, that pass would not accept the provided code from PCTeX for my serial number 60026. After cancelling the install, and restarting the install, the Beta then asked if I would like it to look for ...

where the word "trie" looks suspiciously like a spelling error.

That's the correct spelling. It's the name of a data structure used by TeX author Donald Knuth and others.
