Package: tetex-bin
Version: 2.0.1-2
special meaning of '%&' at first line of input file stopped working
after 1.0.7 version of tetex
when you put at first line special chracters ('%&') tex should take
everthing after this characters as a commad line options. It was working
with versions 1.0.x of tetex
for example when I put at first line of 'myfile.tex' something like:
%& -translate-file=il2-pl
and run:
$ tex myfile.tex
it should be equivalent with:
$ tex -translate-file=il2-pl myfile.tex
but it doesn't work like this... maybe I missed something.
regrads,
Michal.

No one believes that TeX changes such basic behavior
in future. Basically TeX is freezed already.

If you dislike double parameter then you could modify
95NonPath.cnf and run update-texmf but this is not
recommended.
When a new tetex changes content of texmf.cnf, you should
choose one of the followings;
- replace 95NonPath.cnf with the new package version and
modify it again.
- retain old modified 95NonPath.cnf and compare it with
that of the new package and update it except your modification.
But if you add 94michal.cnf then texmf.cnf would be
updated and your modification will be reserved at any
time in the future.
Only when you believe there is no need to modify texmf.cnf
with 94michal.cnf, you might rename it as 94michal.bak and
run update-texmf then texmf.cnf will be the newest default
one.
Anyway, this is not a bug but a new feature of teTeX.
Thanks for your interests in tetex.
