-.SH NAME
-virtex \- virgin TeX for production typesetting
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B virtex
-is a version of the \*(TX program that has no
-preloaded macro packages, but is capable of
-loading a special preformatted binary file, called
-a
-.I format
-.RI ( .fmt )
-file produced by the
-.BR initex (1)
-program.
-.PP
-Preprocessing of large macro files and font
-definitions by
-.B initex
-makes it possible to rapidly load complex
-packages, like plain \*(TX, \*(AX, \*(AY, or \*(LX,
-without the overhead of macro parsing and file
-opening that would otherwise be experienced.
-.PP
-.B virtex
-can be invoked directly, providing it with a name
-of a format file specially prefixed by an
-ampersand:
-.RS
-.I "virtex '&plain' filename"
-.RE
-This causes it to load the binary file named
-.I plain.fmt
-from a directory in the standard TEXINPUTS search
-path, and then load the text file
-.I filename
-and process it. The quotes are needed to protect
-the ampersand from Unix shell interpretation.
-.PP
-Because this need occurs frequently, Unix
-.B virtex
-provides a convenient shorthand. If it is invoked
-under a name other than
-.BR virtex ,
-such as
-.BR footex ,
-it will behave as if it had been invoked as
-.I "virtex '&footex'"
-and first load a file named
-.IR footex.fmt .
-Thus,
-.BR amslatex ,
-.BR amstex ,
-.BR lamstex ,
-.BR latex ,
-.BR slitex ,
-.BR tex ,
-.BR texinfo ,
-and others can all be file system links to
-.BR virtex ,
-without requiring additional disk space.
