DVI previewer gone haywire

[Ganz, Frank, SV USA]

Hi Sue,

What might be the case is a missing backslach in dviwindo.ini in the [Window] section:

Open dviwindo.ini:

I expect to see something like this:

Defaults=C:\temp\test Test.dvi .dvi

Add a backslash after "test", so it reads as follows:

Defaults=C:\temp\test\ Test.dvi .dvi

The same might need to be done for

SourceDefaults=...

Hope this helps.
Frank
