Here are the relevent lines from my fmtutil.cnf. Should I just change
them to be more your like yours or is there a script or something else
I should do?
tex tex - tex.ini
etex etex language.def *etex.ini
latex etex language.dat *latex.ini
pdftex pdftex language.dat pdftex.ini
pdflatex pdfetex language.dat *pdflatex.ini
pdfetex pdfetex language.def *pdfetex.ini
#!omega omega language.dat omega.ini
#!lambda omega language.dat lambda.ini
Cheers,
Vince
