Hi, how about
\pdfinput {filename} \pdfopenin {filename} \pdfopenout {filename}
Hi, if you provide new primitives, it would be nice to have a switch which forces \pdfopenout to create a file with the name <filename>. It's quite annoying that `\openout\x=Makefile' creates a file `Makefile.tex'. As far as \input and \openin is concerned, Knuth's rule is clear (first search for <filename> and then for <filename>.tex). This is ok, but kpathsea's search strategy is wrong. But a good solution for \openout is really appreciated.
