% == introduction ==
%
% This is 'texexec.ini', the file used by texexec to determine where
% to find files, what TeX to use, what flags to pass, etc. Although
% TeXexec tries to locate things itself, a little help is sometimes
% needed. One can influence texexec by setting some variables. These
% are only needed when the automatic determined settings fail.
%
% == interfacing ==
%
% UsedInterfaces  nl,en  the formats generated with --make
% UserInterface   nl     the default format used
%
% == binaries ==
%
% TeXExecutable      pdfetex  the TeX binary to use
% MpExecutable       mpost    the MetaPost binary to use
% MpToTeXExecutable  mpto     the MetaPost to TeX converter
% DviToMpExecutable  dvitomp  the DVI to MetaPost converter
%
% == Scripts ==
%
% DviSpecialScript   dvispec  the DVI special filter script
%
% == flags ==
%
% TeXFormatFlag  -fmt= the format introducer
% TeXVirginFlag  -ini  the format generation switch
%
% == paths ==
%

% As shown below, one can define his/her own sections. We default to
% the teTeX/fpTeX web2c based settings.

% If this file is called 'texexec.rme', copy it to 'texexec.ini',
% check the settings above, change them according to your TeX
% distribution, and say:
%
%   texexec  --verbose
%
% When set up properly, you should see your local settings fly by.
% When these settings are ok, the next call should work:
%
%   texexec  --make
%
% and you should be able to process a file by saying
%
%   texexec  filename
%
% See 'mtexexec.pdf' for more information on the flags you can use with
% 'texexec'. Also make sure you have the 'texutil' script installed in
% the same path as 'texexec'.
