Hi Peter,

with the command "texexec file", I want luatex to be used. And with the command "texexec --pdftex file" I want pdftex to be used.
IIRC there used to be an ini file with those options, but it's gone now. For one thing, older engines like tex and omega are no longer supported (no etex), luatex is still experimental, and aleph is obsolete (except for testing for relevant luatex bugs). So pdftex is the only really solid engine (I don't know anything about xetex). So maybe Hans is waiting till mkiv stabilizes before giving us that option back?
