> BTW, LaTeX predates .PDFs. Well aware — I started writing in (a much earlier version of) LaTeX in Emacs at Stanford in the mid-1980s, while Knuth was still actively developing the TeX code. :-) The usual process back then was .tex → .dvi → .ps via the latex and dvips binaries. And when PDF came on the scene, before pdflatex there was a further step of .ps → .pdf via ps2pdf. Ah, memories! :-)
