"Can't write on dvipsnam.def" problem

This error is due to the fact that the LaTeX graphics installation file, graphics.ins, is trying to open more files simultaneously than the standard emTeX/rsxwin system can handle.

To fix the problem, please do the following.

1. From here, download the file emtgrfx.ins and place it in the directory emtex\texinput\graphics.

2. Reinstall the graphics package files: If you don't still have graphics.zip then get a copy from the getit page, and, at the DOS prompt, issue the command

unzip graphics.zip -d \emtex\texinput

3. Restart EMTEXGI. You should be asked if you want to unpack the graphics package -- answer Yes and things should go OK.
