Emtexgi and Windows NT

I do not have an NT machine to test on, so here I am just passing on what I have heard from various users. I begin by reproducing most of a message I received from an NT user who describes his setup procedure in helpful detail:

``After a bit of poking around, I have emtexgi2 working on my NT 4.0 machine. As far as I can tell, the way to do it is to first let emtex.bat install the program files. Next, you need to change the system settings to include the lines that would go in the autoexec.bat file under W3.1 or 95. This is accomplished by going to the control panel (located under the *start* menu under *settings*). Select the SYSTEM icon. Within that, choose the ENVIRONMENT tab. There are two sets of variables to choose from on this tab. I personally chose to only alter my personal variables (*User* variables).

To set a variable, there are two dialog windows at the bottom of the tab: *Variable* and *Value*. To set things up so that emtexgi will work use the following:

VARIABLE	VALUE
path	%path%;C:\emtex\bin;C:\rsx\bin
emtexdir	C:\emtex
dvidrvfonts	C:\texfonts
maketexpk	maketexp %n %d %b %m
emx	C:\rsx\bin\rsx.exe

Note: The temp variable should already be set to C:\temp. For the maketexpk variable value, use only one percent sign. You do not have to restart the OS for this to take effect.

I did not, as suggested, allow the program to setup dviwin for me. I did compile the emtexgi users guide and print it just fine.''

Here are some points gathered from other users:

The batch file genpk.bat employed by dviwin in font-generation (and which resides in the \dvidrvrs directory). You may have trouble with lines 158 and 159:
if not exist %PK_BASE%\nul md %PK_BASE% if not exist %PK_DIR%\nul md %PK_DIR%
I hear that things work better if you rem them out. If anyone can tell me why, or what the correct fix is, I'd be grateful.
[Comment from AC: Rather than rem'ing out the above lines altogether, I'd suggest editing out the "if not exist" clauses. Thus:
md %PK_BASE% md %PK_DIR%
End of comment.]
On starting up for the first time, emtexgi gives you the option of configuring dviwin for your drive setup. This involves inserting the current drive letter in two places in the "missing font" command line in dviwin2.ini. (To be precise, the drive letter and a colon are prefixed to the two occurrences of "\dvidrvrs" in the line beginning "miscmd1=".) I understand that you may be better to say No to this option under NT -- apparently it may make the command line too long. This will lead to problems only if you are texing documents on a drive other than the one where dviwin is installed. Again, any fix suggestions would be welcome.
