Like the other, more knowledgeable guy said.
pdftex will actually create a pdf out of a text file without complaint
if you put '\end' on a newline at the end of the text file (I wouldn't
recommend such a bare-bones approach, though, in my extremely limited
experience, for formatting reasons). Or you can just type '\end' in the
little interactive mode that comes up in the terminal when errors or
omissions are encountered.
All roads lead to Rome, I reckon.
