Re: PROBLEM WITH PSFRAG AND MIKTEX

Vladimir,

1.  I am using eps files for the figures only.  Actually, for the same
figures and tex file the WinEdt/MikTex/yap combo worked in the past that
very "combo" is not working now.

2. After not being able to generate the substitution with psfrag, I did
uninstall my basic MikTex, install it again, and I obtained the same
problem.  I uninstalled it again, and install the "complete" MikTex and got
the same error.

Below I copy the error message that appears in a Window when I use Yap to
see the DVI file.  Maybe you can detect something I do not.

Many thanks,

Juan C.
