please respond]
> Jan, can you provide any insight here?
Apologies if this is unnecessary, but by way of clarification
to my previous message:
* teTeX is working fine for me now (I can't of course speak for
"m. z.".
* The problems I had been having, as it turned out, were not
cygwin-specific, but turned on generic teTeX issues (so, I'm
afraid, the whole thread's OT).
* The problems, as it turned out, arose from no defect in the
programs but my local teTeX administration.
Also, by way of correction: as I should have seen from my own
message 789, the "pdfetex thang" bit me not because of local
configuration files, but because I had an old 'latex.fmt' in my
local tree.
A draft morals list:
* Once you customize a config file or install stuff in your
local tree, you own its maintenance forever.
* In particular, expect breakage between teTeX 2 and teTeX 3.
* Even more particularly, expect breakage from old versions of
'texmf.cnf' and '*.fmt'.
