- actually there is a better solution --- if you are willing to hack a little
- bit:
- - get EMX.EXE, EMXL.EXE and EMXBIND.EXE from the new emx V0.8f package
- (I beliebe it is in emxdev.zip on ftp-os2.nmsu.edu or the main
- TeX server in Stuttgart Germany)
- - use EMXBIND to update the EMX copy in TEX386.EXE to version 0.8f
- Works for me without any problems.
-
- Eberhard Mattes has fixed the above mentioned problem in emx V0.8e
- (TEX386.EXE beta 8 comes with emx V0.8d built in)
-
- Good luck,
