can you also add ini files for the plain TeX formats with XeTeX, pdfTeX Hey, you lot! They are supposed to be "minimals". If you suggest adding something, I really think you should suggest removing something at the same time :-)
But I would agree that it would be nice to be able to run plain (pdf)TeX and plain metapost with minimals. To be honest, almost everything is there already, with the only exception that the formats aren't generated automatically as they are in TeX Live for example.
Having pdftex.fmt, xetex.fmt and mpost.mem generated automatically would be great, and not much overhead. (Perhaps a file or two are needed for xetex.fmt, not much more.
as taco mentioned ... adding stuff will never end then ... could be another 'download option' btw, the plain version of luatex has the same basic file stuff as mkiv, so it does zip files and alike, some day also open type Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
