 Thanks - that worked for the \THANH macro - now I have a new error 
 
 
 structure   : pdftexprimitive @ level 5 : 0.0.7.15.1 - \Syntax

 ! Undefined control sequence.
 l.4258 ...\PDFTEX\ has run for \the\pdfelapsedtime

We can't fix that. The pdftex manual uses pdftex specific features
that only exist in pdftex, not in luatex.

Best wishes,

I'm new to all this stuff - does MkIV build the pdftex manual?

I ran into this problem running ConTeXt minimals on the pdftex 1.4
manual sources
context --mode=screen --result=TESTING pdftex-t:

   nh
l.689 \PDFTEX\ is maintained by \THANH

?

I could build the manual using texexec.
   

Can you replace in the s-abr-01.tex file which is in the same folder as
the manual the defintion for \THANH with this one

\def\THANH{H\agrave n Th\ecircumflexacute\ Th\agrave n} % Hàn Thế Thành

Hi,

 And why Martin Schr\oder instead of Martin Schröder?  The last time I
 wrote \o instead of ö in a document was in 1994, just before LaTeX-2e
 was released.  But both, LaTeX and Context, support UTF-8 now.  It
 allows you to have text written in Vietnamese, Greek, Arabic, Chinese,
 Devanagari... in one and the same TeX source file.

The first version of the pdftex manual dates from 1996 or so, at a
time when sending 8-bit files over the net was far from reliable. And
why go back to change a definition that works (well, did work, until
now)?

Best wishes,
Taco
