I have a problem with fast loading of macros: I've written a macro package that uses many features from the plain format. Now I want to create a .fmt-file for fast loading of these macros. The TeX-book says you should do "initex" and then type "&plain super" in response to the "**" prompt (super is your extensions of plain). If I do this, the command "virtex &super" takes more time to load the macros than the command "tex" followed by "super". The fastest way to load these macros must be to give the command "tex" and then type "&super" in response to the "**" prompt. Is there a way to create this "super.fmt" that doesn't include the plain format but still uses it? Thanks in advance: ...!mcvax!enea!erix!toni
