An alternative would be to teach fmtutil about "depending formats" and let it skip a format if there is no information for the depended-on format, just as it would skip that depended-on format itself. This would be done in the parse_line function in fmtutil, but I'm unsure about the actual format of $texargs. It seems that most formats have a '*' before there ini file, like this: latex pdftex language.dat -translate-file=cp227.tcx *latex.ini What does that mean? But I guess we can just grep for '&\([[:alpha:]]+\)[[:space:]]' in $texargs (it need not at the beginning, at least unless -tranlage-file=foo is forbidden when using a preloaded format), and check for $1.fmt. But how will jadetex then be recreated when latex becomes available? Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f. Biochemie, Univ.
