Is there anyone who succeeded in running EmTeX dvi drivers on MKS Tool Kit ? It is strange that TeX works, but not dvi drivers. The dvi driver seems to fail to search paths. Of course I set the all the environment variables appropriately, including 'dvidrvfonts'. And MKS Tool Kit is a newest version. If anyone has a solution, please post. There are other people who wish to know.

I'm responding without having my profile.ksh in front of me, so there might by a mistake in my answer. But there are 2 things to be observed: 1. use (quoted) backslashes in any path 2. the assignment statement works strangely: it seems to be expanded twice. So you have to protect the backslashes twice: export dvifonts='"c:\myfonts"' Regards Ueli ______________________________________________________________________________ Ueli Buechler, CIBA-GEIGY AG, R-1045.3.32, P.O.Box, CH-4002 Basel, Switzerland Internet: wbue@ciba-geigy.ch Phone: (+41) 61 697 31 56 BITNET: wbue%ciba-geigy.ch@cernvax Fax: (+41) 61 697 32 88 X.400: S=Buechler; G=Ueli; OU=chcgbs30; PRMD=Ciba-Geigy; ADMD=arcom; C=ch

There are other people >who wish to know. One thing to bear in mind when creating environment variables for a UNIX style shell like the MKS korn shell is that the variable names can have mixed case. The programs which use the above variable are probably looking for a variable 'DVIDRVFONTS', and will ignore 'dvidrvfonts'. It may be necessary to use backslashes as directory separators in the value assigned to the variable. Quote the string with apostrophes to protect the '\' characters from the shell. Try the following variable definition: export DVIDRVFONTS='c:\my\variable' - Paul -- || // // ,'/~~\' Paul Steinbach, Technical Support /||/// //|' `\\\ Mortice Kern Systems Inc. / | //_// ||\___/ 35 King St. N., Waterloo, Ont., Can.
