RE: tetex 3.0.0-3 format file problem

["m. z." <mzap80 at hotmail dot com>]

In the mail below, I see that still with version 3.0.0-3, which still I have 
not installed because I failed both with 3.0.0-1 and 3.0.0-2, when one is 
doing "latex filename.tex", in the line below the output is "pdfeTeX..."
With the previous version of tetex (2.something) this was not happening.
Is this the source of the problems with tetex 3.0.0-x ?
As far as I now latex is latex, producing a .dvi, which will be convertex in 
.ps by dvips.
Why doing "latex" is invoking now pdf format ?

With the latest tetex build, I can't get *tex to use its
format files:

516$ latex aleph.tex
This is pdfeTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)
file:line:error style messages enabled.
%&-line parsing enabled.
