Hi all,

I tried to create a new memory dump file and I failed. What I did was to 
create a files, called pdfplainpt.tex, and I've put it on a directory 
which is one of MiKTeX's root directories. However, if I try to build 
the memory dump file, I get an error message. In fact, if I open a DOS 
window, if I go to the directory where the file pdfplainpt.tex is 
located and if I run

miktex-makefmt.exe --engine=pdftex --dest-name=pdfplainpt pdfplainpt.tex 
--verbose --admin

what I get is:

---------------------------------------------
Creating the pdfplainpt format file...
Running miktex-pdftex.exe...
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.16 (MiKTeX 2.9 64-bit) (INITEX)
entering extended mode
! I can't find file `pdfplainpt.tex'.
<*> pdfplainpt.tex
                    \dump
Please type another input file name
! Emergency stop.
<*> pdfplainpt.tex
                    \dump
No pages of output.

Sorry, but miktex-makefmt did not succeed for the following reason:

   miktex-pdftex.exe failed on pdfplainpt.tex.

The log file hopefully contains the information to get MiKTeX going again:

   C:/Users/Admin/AppData/Local/MiKTeX/2.9/miktex/log/miktex-makefmt.log
---------------------------------------------

I don't understand the "I can't find file `pdfplainpt.tex'", since I do 
this on the directory where the file is located! What am I doing wrong?

Best regards,

José Carlos Santos
