Subject: Bug#338608: please remove the "initex" from TeXs man page

No, I don't think so. Okay, let's see what manual of TeX
said to us;
This version of TeX looks at its command line to see what name it was
called under. If they exist, then both initex and virtex are symbolic
links to the tex executable. When called as initex (or when the -ini
option is given) it can be used to precompile macros into a .fmt file.
The above statement is perfectly true whether or not teTeX
(or we) provides a symbolic link initex to tex. On the contrary,
I think if manual of TeX doesn't refer to this feature of TeX,
then it is certainly the gave bug of manual page.
