[fptex] mktexpk looking for Ghostscript??

[ALAN A DUNWELL]

Howdy All,

I've got fpTeX installed on an NT file server and running in a Win98 
environment via WinEDT. WinEDT runs DVIPreview with the command (in the 
MenuSetup, Accessories) of
   windvi "%P\%N.dvi"
This works (finds windvi via the DOS path), but it then needs to make fonts and 
calls mktexpk and has trouble finding gsftopk.
----log screen clip ------
kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+264/600 --dpi 864

mktexpk: Running gsftopk ptmr8r 720
command gsftopk ptmr8r 720 return 1
.

etc

[A few of the above lines wrapped in my mail editor, but you get the idea.]

When I look I see the file gsftopk.exe located in my installation 
   ...\fpTeX04b\bin\win32\gsftopk.exe
which is in the same location as windvi that called it and is included in my 
(DOS level) PATH loaded from my autoexec.bat

I can run ghostscript and ghostview from icons, so I suspect I have some sort 
of path problem, but I have not been able to unravel it. Do I need to set some 
configuration for mktexpk?  Any ideas? All thought appreciated.
