one problem, it does not work with pk files. What happens is that it
does not expand the $s or $r in the path used to find the files. But,
with librairies it works great. So you can tell me : use librairies,
sorry I say no because I need pk files for use with dvips54.  

Dear Herve,

There is nothing wrong with emTeX's dviscr.  Keep trying.  Probably
your configuration file has references to font library files.  Comment
these references out.  I have used dviscr extensively with PK files,
so I can guarantee that it does manage just fine.  Here is a configuration
file that I have used with no problems:
% dviscr.cnf
/pf=c:\tex\pixel\dpi$r
/r=300
%/sy2
/-
/h11.69in
/w8.25in
/pt
/fl-1
/v0

There is another thing, though.  The DOS version of dvips54 can read emTeX 
font library files. It can also understand several of the emTeX \special 
macros.  So you can use it seamlessly with the rest of emTeX.
