--fmt in web2c selects the format to undump, doesn't it?

Now it does just that. In 7.3.8 and earlier it also selected the format name to dump to -- in retrospect a rather gross hack.

--job-name in MiKTeX changes \jobname; what does --jobname in web2c 7.3.9 do?

It sets \jobname. -- Olaf Weber (This space left blank for technical reasons.)
