Thanks.

But when I porcess the file with `tex', it says:

$ tex test
This is TeX, Version 3.141592 (Web2C 7.5.5)
(./test.tex
! Undefined control sequence.
l.1 \pdfmapfile
               {+lm-texnansi.map}


; if I process it with pdftex, I get:

$ pdftex test
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.30.5-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5)
entering extended mode
(./test.tex
! Missing number, treated as zero.
