> all.  In sarge, virtex was effectively a synonym for plain TeX.

Is this because fmt file for plain TeX is now called as 
tex.fmt (but not plain.fmt which was common in old days),
and virtex is a symbolic link to tex, and a current tex binary
uses a format file of the name it is called under?

I suspect these features are not documented in the TeXbook.
