This is a continuation of my recent message.
I've got tutmac.tex in fptex\temf-local\pdftex\plain
and I've run mktexlsr.

In the directory fptex\texmf-local\web2c I typed
pdftex -ini -fmt=pdfamstex &pdftex amstex
and I got a format file pdfamstex.fmt.
Then I tried
pdftex -ini -fmt=pdftutex &pdfamstex tutmac
and pdftex told me it couldn't find tutmac.tex.
However, when I tried
pdftex -ini &pdfamstex tutmac
it found tutmac.tex OK, and I got tutmac.fmt,
(which I renamed to pdftutex.fmt).

kpsewhich doesn't find tutmac.tex (unless I change
the name of the directory, as I explained in my previous
message.)
