This isn't really necessary. If you put the files in ~/texmf/tex/latex (and run texhash as you say) they should be found. The actual directories where tex/latex looks for files is specified in texmf.cnf in the official tree. "kpsewhich texmf.cnf" should tell you where this is. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
