There are two problem with this hack. If there is an error in the file, TeX
will quit and will not let you tell it to ignore the error or to
ignore all errors. Another problem is that you have to wait until TeX is
done until you can continue to work on the file. You do not have to wait
if you are using TeX from a Terminal or if you use InstantTeX. I have
used this hack myself, but I usually found myself Typing the TeX command
in the Terminal instead, because I did not want to wait for 2 mins while
the 100 page manual got TeXed.
