LaTeX is not a program, but a set of macros compiled by TeX (to be correct: by an instance of TeX called: virtex(1)) to speed things up. All in all TeX is a compiler. The "program" latex(1) is just TeX but using argv[0] to load the precompiled macros. The same goes for all other set of macros. tex(1) is just the name of TeX used with D.E. Knuth's set of macros: plain if the result passes the TRIP test. (which kerTeX passes.) There are explanations on how to use LaTeX with kerTeX in the README document (resp. LISEZ.MOI for french speaking people). Cheers, -- Thierry Laronde http://www.kergis.com/ Key fingerprint = 0FF7 E906 FBAF FE95 FD89 250D 52B1 AE95 6006 F40C
