- Has any one out there built a complex format file using initex on
- Unix?
-
- Yes, I have. Type
- initex formt
- where formt.tex are the macros for you format,
- and \dump at the final '*' or put \dump in your file.
- Then type
- virtex \&formt infil
- where infil.tex is your input.
-
- Note also that I want to call the resulting format file something
- other than "lplain.fmt".
-
- Just rename the format file. No big deal.
