Here is the answer from Karl Berry: <quote> > Please consider to drop dvipdfm in favor of dvipdfmx! > Funny thing. I asked the fmx maintainers the same thing, about completely dropping fm in favor of fmx in TL, and they advised me not to do so. fm had additional programs (ebb and something else), and different behavior in some cases. They hoped to make it completely compatible soon, so we could drop fm next time around. At least that was my understanding ... </quote> The statements made (Karl didn't actually say, who made them) might be quite old. So I can't really say if they're still valid. Are you aware of missing program or something? Unfortunately I don't even know the purpose of ebb.
