I have run dvips with the -d-1 option, and am confused by what it
tells me.  

For instance:

	Trying to open c:\texfonts\lj_0.fli
	<c:\texfonts\lj_0.fli(rb)> failed

and so on for the other lj_*.fli files.  Then later:

	Trying to open c:\texfonts\300\cmr10.pk
	<c:\texfonts\300\cmr10.pk(rb)> failed

These files *do* exist, and dvips seems to be correctly interpreting
the lines in my config.ps on what directories to find them in.  So why
is dvips failing to open them?  What does the (rb) signify, and does
it have anything to do with this problem?

The relevent lines from my config.ps are:

	P c:\texfonts\%d\%f.%p
	L c:\texfonts\;lj_0;lj_h;lj_1;lj_2;lj_3;lj_4;lj_5a;lj_5b;lj_sli


Any help is appreciated.
