Like I said: From personal experience :)
PS: What do you think about to write a dense guide to programmer on how to add a pdftex primitive (something like \pdfhelloworld) and how to interface to an external libray (like zlib) ?
It goes roughly like this: * create pdfetex-main.web from all of the web and change files so you have a least a sane source while coding, and make a copy for future comparison * find an existing command who's syntax/semantics are close to the one you intend to implement ("extension" is fairly useless for anything that actually does have an impact on typesetting, you probably want 'convert' or 'last_item'). * hook a new subcode into the processing of that existing command, * add a call to primitive() * create a code line to print_cmd_chr() * when it builds ok, create a change file by running diff on the original pdfetex-main.web, and add this change file at the end of the change file list in pdfetex.mk I'll see if it is possible to create a document with a bit more specific info Taco
