I just updated from the Protext in Sep. 2008 Tex collection to Protext 
2.2.3-091410 and have problems with commands from a windows XP command 
prompt The command:

   tex produces dvi
   pdftex -> dvi !
   latex -> error msg "unknown format name/engine: latex/pdfTeX"
   pdflatex -> pdf

I known that I could use "--output-format=..." but I have a lot of batch 
files and the commands worked correctly/as expected in the Sep-2008 version.

Also MiKtex "update formats" gives error message "Unknown engine pdfetex"
