-
- I don't understand this. Everything works fine on my system and I keep those
- files in one place (d:\tex\dvips\), and let dvips know this via the TEXCONFIG
- environment variable. On the other hand, I have found it necessary to patch
- some emtex related binaries when I put files into my hierarchy, which is not
- the same as Matthes', but c'est la vie.
-
- I have found that at least some versions of dvips do arbitrarily bad things
- with long lines in config.ps (I was trying to list all my font library files,
- which I made myself, and there are over ten of them, but I found that I could
- give the directory as an item and then use short names; this still broke with
- an older dvips, but the latest dvips386 swallos it fine).
