Re: Unable to generate luatex formats

[Michael Green <merely.ridiculous@gmail.com>]

The two files Taco pointed to *appear* to be OK (though I'm too  
inexperienced to say with certainty). That leaves something esoteric  
or a tossed salad of old and new code.

Since this is mainly a matter of learning and curiosity for me, I'll  
wait and see how things develop for a bit.

Thanks for your help!
