Hi,

finally I succeeded to write mine first sty!

Now I would like to compile its package (.dtx+.ins). After a long searching in manuals and the web the only thing I understood is that I should use makedtx.pl.

The problem is that I'm using MikTeX on Windows XP. Is there another solution?

Thank you in advance,
Nino

I wonder where the problem is. Install a Perl interpreter on the windows system [1]. You an get one for free at ActiveState. Afterwards run the script on your package.

Thank you!

I thought it was only a trial version
