- There are two possible problems:
- 1. tex386 doesn't work with the format-files from tex, tex286 or btex. You have to
- create a new format-file. This is usual in the directory \emtex\btexfmts.
- Look in this directory or in the directory \emtex\texfmts vor the Cmd-files
- to build the format-files.
- 2. tex386 needs the directory of the format-file in the environment-variable
- BTEXFMTS.

- Normally, all DVI-drivers from Eberhard Mattes searches the file dvidrv.err along the
- PATH-variable. The directory of dvidrv.err must exist in the PATH.
