Hello. I have successfully created my plain and lplain fmt files for EmTeX
version 3.14 version 3c beta5. However, I do not understand what these fmt
files are used for. Are they configuration files? If so, what information 
inside of it is necessary and what is it used for?

Thanks

(and does the fmt.bat file create fmt files the same way as creating the
fmt files from the command line by using the -i flag?)
