  What happened to Graphics_In_Plain_TeX?

Subject: What happened to Graphics_In_Plain_TeX?

Hi  there!

I'd like to use pdf-graphics in plain TeX and until a month ago the method
described in the folder Graphics_In_Plain_TeX of the TeXShop distribution
worked fine for me.
Now I suddenly get strange error messages (details below). I can't even
typeset the example file provided with TexShop without errors
(these errors are not serious, but annoying -- I have to press
return in order to finish typesetting).

Is this a problem with my installation or does anybody else
also has this problem?
(Could anybody please try to typeset the file
TeXShop_Folder/Graphics_In_Plain_TeX/example.tex and tell me?)
Has anything been changed in tetex (or graphicx.sty or miniltx.tex)
during the last two months that might cause this problem?

I am not a TeXpert and I do not know how to get rid of this bug.
If I am the only one having this problem, what can I do?
I would appreciate any help, because this bug is really annoying.
If this is a general problem, something has to be done about this.

Here are some details:
I'm using the newest versions of TeXShop/tetex on OS X 10.2
(the same error occurs with iTeXMac).
When I typeset the example file I get the following error message:

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-1.00b-pretest-20020211 (Web2C 7.3.7x)
(./example.tex{/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg}=

(/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/latex/graphics/pdftex.def
! Undefined control sequence.
l.1287 \endETEX

?

Pressing return after this lets me finish typesetting. The resulting
output seems to be ok.

(Sorry, I posted this problem a about a month ago but there was no answer)

Thank you,

Bernd Thaller

For me everything works and I get:

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-1.00b-pretest-20020211 (Web2C 7.3.7x)
(./example.tex{/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/pdftex/config/=20

(/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/latex/graphics/graphics.sty
(/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/latex/graphics/trig.sty)
(/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/latex/config/graphics.cfg)

Output written on example.pdf (1 page, 9140 bytes).
Transcript written on example.log.

It looks like, at about the same time you get an error, in my case the =20=

context file supp-pdf.tex is read. Did you remove context support files =20=

(in directory /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/context/base/)? The file =20=

pdftex.def, which is being processed when you get an error, contains =20
near its end the lines:

% v0.02e: Restore catcodes of context letters.
% Not needed with current version of supp-pdf
% but protects against older versions.
\AtBeginDocument{%
   \edef\@tempa{%
     \catcode`\noexpand\!\the\catcode`\!
     \catcode`\noexpand\@\the\catcode`\@
     \catcode`\noexpand\?\the\catcode`\? }%
   \InputIfFileExists{supp-pdf}{}{}%
   \@tempa
}

which cause the file supp-pdf.tex to be read.
