I have tried to make a version of TeX with the texinfo macros preloaded, but I ran into at least two problems. First, all the cross-referencing files was made the second time I ran initex (see below), and second, undump failed to create an executable file (it has an empty data segment and naturally it dumps the core if I try to execute it). Can these problems be fixed easily? I know it requires some changes to the texinfo macros, but which changes. Does there exist a version of texinfo, which can be preloaded. Mine is version 1.0, taken from the 18.41 emacs distribution. I used these commands. Is it correct? They were run on a VAX 11/785 running 4.3, using TeX version 2.0. initex plain '\dump' cp plain.fmt /usr/lib/tex/macros initex \&plain texinfo @dump cp texinfo.fmt /usr/lib/tex/macros virtex \&texinfo @read 0 to @blort # terminated by SIGQUIT undump texinfo /usr/new/virtex core Thanks.
