[large and occasionally heated discussion omitted, in which a desire
 is expressed to put tex in a pipeline.]

Use make.  More taste, less filling.  Very unix.

  # tex to dvi:
  # 	the "echo q" bit quits out of the error dialog if necessary;
  # 	running latex twice makes sure the auxiliary files are up to date.
  .SUFFIXES: .tex .dvi
  .tex.dvi:
	  echo q | latex $*
	  if [ -f $*.aux ]; then echo q | latex $*; fi

  all: foo.dvi

  print: foo.dvi
	  dvilp $?
	
  texclean:
	  -rm *.aux *.log *.toc *.dvi

  clean:
	  -rm *.CKP *.ln *.BAK *.bak *.o core errs ,* *~ *.a \
		  .emacs_* tags TAGS MakeOut *.odf *_ins.h \
		  *.aux *.log *.toc *.dvi
