[fptex] mktexpk looking for Ghostscript-the whole message

[ALAN A DUNWELL]

Sorry my previous message got clipped somehow...

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.

[A few of theabove 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, but it doesn't seem to be able to 
find Ghostview.

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 or for gsftopk?  Any ideas? All thought appreciated.
