Hello,
I noticed that TeXExec has no "native" support for Gamma, in the sense that it doesn't change the "cont-" prefix to "gamma-" when the TeX executable is set to Omega.
I did a patch to make this possible, but of course since there are no gamma-<language>.tex files, it doesn't work that simply. I therefore did a more extensive patch (it has to dump the format as cont-en and then rename it) but this is sub-optimal. It would be very easy to do if (recent) fpTeX and teTeX supported the --job-name option ... is this the case? If so, the patch can be done very easily. Anybody using fpTeX or teTeX know about this?
--tex=binary --format=formatname personally i think that gamma should just use a cont-* file, but with an ofmt extension; where etex can be distinguished by suffix, omega cannot, which is a bad thing since now one gets format clashes; i didn't experiment with this, but it may be possible to set the texformat paths in texmf.cnf on a per progrma basis (omega.texformats => .../web2c/omega) Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
