by I recently installed the beta version of EmTeX/dvidrv (version numbers
are given below). All is well but I cannot get mf to generate missing fonts
automatically. I'm using a 486 PC running Dos 5.0 along with a
HP IIIP. I named mf386.exe to mf.exe and I havne't
yet installed the beta version of EmTeX/TeX386 (do I have to?).
Here is the error that I'm getting.

All my *.mf files are there and appear to be in fine shape.
Also, I have tried generating other missing fonts
automatically and get the same error.
I'm not a TeXnician. Any help/suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
