How does one ...

[Zdenek Wagner]

Hi all,

there is probably a historical difference. TeX creates DVI which is
then converted by dvipdfmx or dvipdfm but XeTeX creates XDV which is
then converted by xdvipdfmx. Looking at the installed system. nowadays
all of them are just one program (xdvipdfmx) with two alias names,
probably for backward compatibility.
