Hello,
James Chapman having taken the time to test my LaTeX hints, the result
is that there is a blunder in kerTeX, and the latex dump (format) is not
loaded but still the plain format. (This is nothing deep, but a blunder
around a variable ready_already set and tested and skipping the chunk of
code precisely designed to load the dump according to argv[0].)
To work around for now (time for me to correct and be able to
publish---the kergis.com site is in the process of moving to another
provider), you can force the load of the latex dump (put in the correct
directory for kerTeX or adjusting TEXDUMP) this way:
kertex/virtex '&latex' latex_file.tex
The '&latex' will cause virtex(1) to load the dump named latex.fmt to be
found somewhere in the paths defined by TEXDUMP (this includes '.').
Note too that the instructions in the README/LISEZ.MOI must be adapted
to rc(1) (the example is a sh(1) script), for example substituting
correct quoting rules ('' and not "" since rc(1) will take them as is)
for the definition of variables.
Cheers,
