Hello, the version of AUTEX we've been using is 11.85.e-23.1, that's
the latest precompliled version for Windows. I guess the only thing I
can find on CVS is the source code, and I can't compile, since I don't
have a compiler for Windows. Is there a precompiled development
version for Windows somewhere? If not, I guess I'll have to wait till
the next release is available.

Thanks,
