+%D Specials are \TEX's channel to the outside world. They make
+%D \TEX\ even more platform independant and permit easy
+%D adaption to new developments. One major drawback of specials
+%D is that they have to be supported by printer drivers. We've
+%D tried to overcome this problem by implementing specials as
+%D a sort of drivers themselves.

+%D \TEX\ produces files in the \DVI\ format. This format is
+%D well defined and stable. In this format one||byte commands
+%D are used which can optionally be followed by length
+%D specifiers and arguments. The \DVI||format incorporates a
+%D channel to the outside world. This channel is activated by
+%D the \TEX\ primitive \type {\special}. The sequence
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \special{Hello here I am.}
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D results in \DVI||codes:
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D xxx1 16 Hello here I am.
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D The \type {xxx1} is represented in byte code 239 and the
+%D number of following bytes in a~1, 2, 3 or~4 byte number. So
+%D here we get $1+1+16$ bytes of code.
+%D
+%D Translating these codes is upto the \DVI\ driver. It's
+%D common use to ignore specials that cannot be interpreted, so
+%D the example string should have no consequences for the
+%D output.
+
+%D \macros
+%D {jobsuffix}
+%D
+%D By default, \TEX\ produces \DVI\ files which can be
+%D converted to other filetypes. Sometimes it is handy to
+%D know what the target file will be. In other driver
+%D modules we wil set \type {\jobsuffix} to \type {pdf}.

+%D A rather fundamental difference between special and direct
+%D settings is that the latter don't interfere with typesetting
+%D but must be set before the first shipout, while the specials
+%D must be packaged in the shipped out box in such a way that
+%D they don't interfere.

+%D Because there is no standardization in the use of specials,
+%D more than one driver or program can be supported. The
+%D specials are grouped in libraries. Some of these are
+%D general, such as the \type{postscript} library, some are
+%D tuned to a special kind of program, like the \type{pdf}
+%D ones, and some support a specific driver, as we can see in
+%D the \type{yandy} library. A library is build with the
+%D commands:
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \startspecials[name][inheritance]
+%D
+%D \definespecial\none{...}
+%D \definespecial\onlyone#1{...}
+%D \definespecial\alot#1#2#3#4{...}
+%D
+%D \stopspecials
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D Because drivers can have overlap in low level macros, a
+%D mechanism of inheritance is implemented. The libraries
+%D defined as second argument are loaded first.
+%D
+%D Every special has to be predefined first. We do this with
+%D the command:
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \installspecial [\none] [and] [0]
+%D \installspecial [\onlyone] [and] [1]
+%D \installspecial [\alot] [or] [4]
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D This means as much as: there is a special names
+%D \type{\none} which has no arguments and has more than one
+%D appearance. The special \type{\alot} on the other hand has
+%D four arguments and is only defined once. Every instance in
+%D the libraries of a special of category \type{and} is
+%D executed when called upon, but only one special of
+%D category \type{or} can be active. Most of the
+%D \type{postscript}||specials are of category \type{or},
+%D because they tend to interfere with driver specific ones.
+%D The interactive specials of \type{dviwindo} and \type{pdf}
+%D are an example of specials that can be called both.
+%D
+%D A library is defined in a file with the name
+%D \type{spec-...}. We load a library with the command:
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \usespecials [list]
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D where the list can contain one or more file tags, the
+%D \type{...} in the filename. The keyword \type{reset}
+%D resets all loaded specials. This is equivalent to
+%D \type{\resetspecials}.
+
+%D Although a mechanism of nesting can be implemented, we
+%D prefer to use a inheritance mechanism as mentioned. Calls
+%D upon \type{\usespecials} within a \type{\startspecials}
+%D would lead to confusion and errors.
+
+\newif\ifinheritspecials

+%D We define some local constants and variables. They look a
+%D bit horrible but we don't want conflicts.

+%D
+%D The optional second argument can consist of a list of

+%D We have to install specials before we can define and use
+%D them. The command itself is defined as a call to another
+%D command that executes one or more user||defined specials,
+%D depending of it's category: \type{or} versus \type{and}.
+%D
+%D The command \type{\installspecial} takes three
+%D (non||optional) arguments: the name of the command, the
+%D category it belongs to and the number of arguments it
+%D takes.
+%D
+%D With \type{\resetspecials} we can unload the predefined
+%D specials. Special reset actions |<|look in \type{spec-mis}
+%D for an example|>| can be assigned to the token register
+%D \type{\everyresetspecials}.

+%D The command \type{\definespecial} take the place of

+%D sure, we first check if the command is permitted, i.e.
+%D installed. If not, we give a warning and gobble the
+%D illegal command in an quite elegant way.
+%D
+%D If the command can be combined (\type{and}) with others,
+%D we append it to a list, otherwise (\type{or}) it becomes
+%D the only item in the list.

+%D {executespecials}
+%D
+%D The command \type{\executespecials} is used to execute the
+%D defined specials. Once a special is installed, the special
+%D itself calls for this command, so it's not needed outside
+%D this module. One can use it if wanted.
+%D
+%D A former implementation grouped the execution. Recent
+%D additions however |<|like the specials that implement object
+%D handling|>| asked for non||grouped execution.

+%D This kind of saving only shows up when making interative

+%D tens of thousands of special calls are rather normal.
+%D On a 650 Mhz Pentium, the previous test takes 15 seconds
+%D less (on about 65 seconds). When processing 2000 page
+%D interactive documents this saving can be neglected.
