I spent couple of days to make TeX (LaTeX2e with all extras) run on my 
NT4 using Textelmextel and dviwin32. I had to do a few changes and write 
a few new batches to configure textelmextel and dviwin.
All these things are attached to this posting (german and ...2 = english)

But there are still two things I can�t manage : 

I) including graphicfiles in my work. I tried out to use bm2fonts.exe but 
this is only for files with width<300pixels and you have to use bm2fonts 
for all files again if you change the dpi�s (if you change the printer or 
the screen or so). 
I also tried out to use the \special-command (example : \special{isoscale 
filename,5in 5in}) but the only format that is really displayed at the 
end is the WMF-format and this is shown in a extremely bad quality. When 
I try to use any other format (ps,eps,tiff,jpeg,gif,bmp etc.) there is 
only a white box :-( WHY ?
My viewer is dviwin32 and I put all graphicfilters in the win.ini and I 
also tried to use the xxx.flt instead of the xxx2.flt that comes with 
dviwin32. but nothing helps. And I hate to have a lot of black frames in 
my outprint, where I have to glue the outprints of my graphicfiles.

II) how the hell can I choose a printer ? is there a variable in the TeX-
environment or how ? of course I can choose my deskjet, when printing 
from dviwin32 but when dviwin calls MakeFont, makefont creates fonts for 
the laserjet and does not store them. I dont understand this printer-
font-thing ! I�ve a lot of *.fli in my TexFont-directory that seems to be 
for different printers and I�ve a pixel.lj-directory, where all the pk-
dirs for different resolutions are stored !! pixel.lj sounds like 
laserjet !? 


So, anybody knows help ?

:-) thanks, peter
