DVIPSONE in Windows XP

[David Cruickshank]

Thanks for all your suggestions, Christina.  I've tried everything, but
it still doesn't work!  I've uninstalled everything and started again,
but still no progress.

TeX to DVI works fine, no errors.  DVI displays fine.  My printer (HP
2100) seems fine.  It's the DVI to PS that won't work.  Below I've
pasted the logs from DVIPSONE for the same file run on Win 98
and on XP.  The XP version seems to be skipping the font
processing.  Fonts are all installed and dviwindo.ini has the line
PSFONTS=C:\WINDOWS\fonts

Any more ideas out there?

Thanks,

David.
