Why I am doing this? Just because I want to experiment with luatex and
to acquire experience using it. And what better to start with then
examples given in the accompanying document.
It might not be a user manual, but does that mean its information is
not to be used? I am quite aware of the preliminary nature of the
document. That is what this newsgroup is for. By the way, Hans Hagen
in the mean time corrected the call to "luatools --make plain".
