this does not actually mean anything. A class file does not load fonts
but font font metrics...

sounds like PCTeX32 does not grok this sort of stuff ..... have you
checked their manuals?

the latter

certainly. Look at http://www.tug.org/interest.html for pointers to
free TeX implementations which include dvips. Personally, I recommend
looking at http://www.tug.org/texlive/, as that gives you a CD with a
complete modern Tex system set up for several platforms (including
win32), where your article will run straight off.

but then I am biased.
