There are two possible problems:
1. tex386 doesn't work with the format-files from tex, tex286 or btex. You have to
	create a new format-file. This is usual in the directory \emtex\btexfmts.
	Look in this directory or in the directory \emtex\texfmts vor the Cmd-files
	to build the format-files. 
2. tex386 needs the directory of the format-file in the environment-variable
	BTEXFMTS.

Normally, all DVI-drivers from Eberhard Mattes searches the file dvidrv.err along the 
PATH-variable. The directory of dvidrv.err must exist in the PATH.

So long
