He suggested that maybe I was using the "fancybox" package and that maybe I should get a newer version if so. Yes I was using "fancybox" and commenting it out solved the problem, thanks.

It does work with gs6.01 if I put that first in my PATH, and set GS_LIB appropriately, which is my workaround. Everything else I have that uses gsdll (GSView 3.6, my own programs) works correctly under the settings that fail with windvi, so I think gs6.50 is installed correctly and is functioning. Nothing changes if I have explicit settings in the PATH and GS_LIB or rely on the registry.

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Hi OK, now I know the answer to your other question. Take the plain.tex file and save it under another name (plainpt.tex, for instance). Open it with a text editor; you will find the following lines, almost at the end: \lefthyphenmin=2 \righthyphenmin=3 % disallow x- or -xx breaks \input hyphen Delete the second of these two lines and add the following ones: \input pthyph \language1 \input ushyph \language2 \input frhyph.tex \language0 After this, run INITEX with this file; when it stops, type "\dump" and ENTER; you will get a file called "plainpt.fmt". To use it with a TeX file, the first line of this file should be %&plainpt and it will use the portuguese hyphenation patterns.

Yes, it works well. Many thanks. As usual, I played a little with it. 1. Basic installation -- OK. Some notes: we have at *this* level tex/generic/ruhyphen/ -- hardly usable without fonts, macros etc. I hope doc/html/e-tex/ -- but without e-tex tex/latex/latex3/ ?? -- perhaps tex/latex/hyperref would be better instead? 2. Add TeX package: pdftex -- OK, but only texmf part, without binaries. Should I select also systems-win32 while adding some parts? It is complicated to explain to anybody, I know... psutils -- only man, texmf/doc/ and texmf/dvips/ parts, without binaries, even if they are declared in psutils.tpm. Ahhh, I found, they are missing in setupw32/psutils.zip but exist in zip/psutils.zip some other packages from zip/ or full/ -- perfectly installed! As I've heard, many Windows users are curious about man pages installed. It is so rare case on such platform... Instead there is standalone, *small* info.exe reader, and I think info pages would be more welcome, since they are more complete. What do you think? Or perhaps, texmf/doc/manpages/*.dvi and texmf/doc/html/manpages/ would be enought?

Part of this question was already answered. tex.fmt has only USEnglish patterns. It is canonical Plain format by D.E. Knuth. Jose Carlos Oliveira Santos wrote: > OK, now I know the answer to your other question.

Please modify language.dat, as was already explained, in the same manner as for latex. Note: you should modify the `active' copy of that file, but it is so simple to find it: kpsewhich language.dat will show where it is 2. run: fmtutil --byfmt=bplain --dolinks That's all! You can run `bplain file.tex' with your patterns. The more interesting question is how your input can be interpreted by such a format. Perhaps you can try somemething like: %& --translate-file=il1-t1 in *the first line* of your file, so you can write your documents in a *natural* way (iso8859-1, a.k.a. iso latin1), and it will be translated into T1 (Cork) encoding used internaly by TeX with EC fonts. But how one can switch to that encoding in (b)Plain? That's the question... Note, that without special macros which I do not know, input with \~n, \'a, \^a etc. will destroy completely the hyphenation. Some can answer: use better latex... ;-) But it is not serious answer, if you prefer using Plain.
