        Those threads seemed to have answered my question.  In my tex
sources, I had my own little \ifpdf business going on which broke from
tetex-2 to tetex-3, resulting in only producing pdf output.  I simply
replaced it with \usepackage{ifpdf} and I can confirm that my documents
work with both version 2 and 3.  Thank you (merci!) very much for the
pointers.

        From following those threads, the latex.ini and other
configuration files look fine at first glance.  So I'm not sure if my old
(replaced) installation can still cause future problems.

        Should one wish to expurgate all traces of the old installation,
for safety, what would be the proper procedure to guarantee cleanliness?
some combination of fink uninstall/rebuild/reinstall?
