graphics problem: a refinement

[Robert Ryan]

Thanks, Mike---

As you can see from the three examples below, giving the full path in
\includegraphics does not work. It seems fairly clear now that my system
(disk, copy of Y&YTeX) is defective. As I indicated in the last note, I know
of several ways around this that work just fine. But the point remains that
Y&YTeX should work with packages like graphicx without recourse to "fixes."

In fact, I would assume that Louis fixed this as soon as I alerted him to
the problem a few years ago, and that any disk published later contained the
fix. Unfortunately, the patch he sent me was lost in the last great computer
crash.

Thanks again, Robert
