These are some hints to make your use of pdflatex(1) more productive...

!!! Version
As you may be aware, the version numbers for [Τεχ] are converging towards Pi, and pdflatex does the same.
Although it may not look like much, there is quite a bit of difference between pdflatex version "3.14159-13d (Web2C 7.3.1)" (the "old stable" version) and version "Version 3.14159-1.10b (Web2C 7.4.5)" (the more recent version). This fixes a number of bugs. I copied a binary of the newer version from [Debian] [Woody] onto a [Slackware] 8 box, and the binary worked, but I needed to use the newer pdflatex.fmt file as well (you can merely copy this into your document directory).
