However, I was wondering if it can be made smart enough to distinguish between TeX (as in Knuth), LaTex2e, TeXinfo, ... Also, you need to consider the possibility of cross references in a TeX file. This normally means that tex (or latex) is run more than once to get things straight;i.e., %latex foo <--- produce *.log, *.aux, *.toc ... %latex foo <--- resolve cross references (e.g., Table of Contents) [%latex foo <--- again, resolve more cross references?] %dvips -o foo.ps foo If you incorporate a dvips step, are we assuming 300dpi on a Canon CX laser printer engine? This could probably be set in make.conf; i.e., DPI=300 or ENGINE=CX. Dvips needs to have the *.mf files for font creationr available, and a single place to build/store the *.300pk files? If the tex,dvips,xdvi packages are previously installed, then dvips should Do the Right Thing, but it's not guaranteed. -- Steven G.
