Author Move/problem

John and Malcolm,
Finally our move has been decided, and we shall be moving to NY in
August, where Beate will be at the German Mission to the UN for 3 years.
David will probably attend the UN school there. At the end of June we are
going to Manhattan flat-hunting.

In connection with the move, since I can't take my own PC because of
the voltage/cycles incompatibility, I am transferring all my files to
Beate's laptop, which runs under XP Pro. Disappointedly, after solving some
initial problems such as Tex not accepting 'MR&C' in a pathname, I finally
hit the same problem as I had in London, namely that Tex works but dvips
doesn't. Since I now know how to produce PDF from Postscript, this is the
only link in the chain that doesn't work. Does one of you have access to a
tame guru? I can supply:

the log file
the error file from the path searching
the script I use
the path and environment variables in the system

As before, some fonts are not found, in particular '-' and the 'fi' glyph.

Grateful for any advice,

Mike

I apologise for interjecting in a conversation which though posted on a
public forum, seems to be a private communication. However, have you
considered using pdflatex ?
