could not make postscript file through dviwindo in windows 2000

[Frank Ganz]

I have now been able to duplicate your problem, Baskaran. I get the same problem when I select "print to file" in the print menu of my printer driver while also having "use DVIPSONE" selected. The whole idea of using the print menu this way is to send the resulting PostScript to the printer and not to a file. If you instead want to produce a PostScript file you can use DVIPSONE via the TeX menu as described Friday. If you don't have any entry to DVIPSONE in the TeX menu, then the dviwindo.ini then it could be added to that file. Let us know if you want help with that.

Thanks,
Frank
