[OS X TeX] Building new LaTeX formats w/ OS X Textures

[J. McKenzie Alexander]

I'm trying to build (or \dump) the most recent version of LaTeX to  
use with OS X Textures.  I've downloaded the base directory from CTAN  
but, after having unpacking and processed all the *.ins files, I'm a  
bit stuck at what to do next.

I've created an empty file in Textures, saved it to the 'base' folder  
containing all the input files for LaTeX, switched the typesetter to  
VirTeX, and then typed

	\input latex.ltx

in the editor window.

What I get is the following error message:

> This is TeX, Version 3.141592 (INITEX)  29 JUN 2006 11:30
> (foo.tex (latex.ltx (texsys.cfg)

Am I doing something wrong?  If so, would someone please tell me  
where I might find documentation on how to do this?

Thanks,

Jason
