[pdftex] pdftex Digest, Vol 68, Issue 5

[ivo welch]

I needed dvi output for dvi -> html translation.  otherwise, I would
have stayed far away from dvi.  the pdf output in pdftex is wonderful.

IMHO, latex should produce an error message when the user explicitly
specifies dvi and some package wants to switch to pdf output.  then,
again, I am hoping to convince TUG to move to a method by which latex
errors become far more stringent--to eliminate deprecated constructs,
for example.
