Georg, you also wrote > One drawback of this solution compared to the original one is that an > existing dvi file in the temp dir will be overwritten (and then renamed) > if a dvi2 file is created. This could be easily solved by defining a > latex2 format and using that as source for dvi2 creation. We need, from input_file, create output_file (in our concrete example, input_file is the .tex file, output_file is the .dvix file), but the converter has some resultfile (in our case, the .dvi file), which must be moved to output_file. What do you think about the following idea: if output_file != resultfile and resultfile exists, then, before runung the converter, move outputfile to outputfile.tmp, and after the converter finishes, move back outputfile.tmp to outputfile. This is a generic solution. João.
