Hello everybody,
with a fresh TeX Live 2009 distribution, I cannot compile old files
because of \writestatus which seems to be undefined.
For instance:
\listfiles
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{etex}
\usepackage{m-pictex,m-ch-en}
\begin{document}
Hello World!
\end{document}
leads to the following log:
