Hi,

Hope this isn't too off-topic, but I'm having a simple problem with
current latex-3.0 in unstable (no answer on web?):

I've noticed that /sw/bin/latex is symlinked to pdfetex, which means that
'latex' produces only pdfs, never any DVI files (at least on all my
documents).  If I need to produce a .dvi, what can I call explicitly to do
so? I can't just call tex; all LAtex-isms won't compile.  I have some
archaic latex documents that require old-style tex -> dvi -> ps -> pdf,
because going straight to pdf doesn't work.  :( (e.g. prosper slides) I
also might want to write some sort of auto/configure macro to detect and
workaround this variation in behavior, especially if this is really the
default behavior of tetex-3.0 distributions.

Thanks in advance.

David
