Before yesterday I downloaded pdftex 1.00b from CTAN for Windows.
After unpacking the zip-file I tried to generate the format files. On my XP
home edition however this was no success. XP closes down the pdftex and
pfdetex executable after a failure (hanging of the application).
Is there anybody who can tell me where the problem might be?
Greetings Willi

Can you try again with :
ftp://ftp.dante.de/pub/fptex/standalone/bin-pdftex-1.00b-pretest-20020211-win32.zip
(Assuming a TeXLive installation)

Hi,
Sorry to bother you again. Yes my texinstallation is TeXlive 6. I downloaded
the zip file from the indicatd ftp-site.
After unzipping I was able to create a pdfetex.efmt format. I was not able
to create a pdftex.fmt. Pdftex was closed down by Windows XP with an error.
When running texexec with a very simple test.tex I was stuck with the
following error:
TeXExec 2.7 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2001
executable : pdfetex
format : cont-en
inputfile : test
output : standard
interface : en
current mode : all
TeX run : 1
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-1.00b-pretest-20020211-2.1 (Web2c 7.3.7x)
\write18 enabled.
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)
run time : 2 seconds
total run time : 3 seconds
How to go further?
Thanks for your support. Willi

Hi,
I just sent a mail indicating, that I have problems with the pdfetex.efmt
format. - After regenerating the CONTEXT formats it works for pdfetex! ;-)
The generation of the dpftex.fmt is still impossible.
Thanks, Willi
