The other way to go is to just set up a shell script:
eg. latex would be called to execute virtex &lplain.
On a Sun there was very little difference in speed in this
versus the "undumped" variety. Plus , virtex+ lplain is
smaller than undumped version, and only one copy of virtex
is required, even if you're using plain, latex and amstex.
Plus it's a lot easier to upgrade the .fmt files.
