Since release of the 25-Sep-1990 release of emTeX some bugs have
been found.

- dvivik 1.4d (and some older versions) doesn't work. Here's a fix
  (only for version 1.4d!!!):
    cd \emtex <cr>
    ren dvivik.exe dvivik <cr>
    debug dvivik <cr>
    r <cr>
    [now the register contents will be displayed. Let xxxx be the
     value displayed for CS. Let yyyy be xxxx+1000.]
    d yyyy:3305 <cr>
    [The dump should start with 8B 46 08. If it doesn't DO NOT
    APPLY this patch.]
    e yyyy:3305 <cr>
    b8 01 00 <cr>
    w <cr>
    q <cr>
    ren dvivik dvivik.exe

- There's a problem with MFjob and METAFONT running under OS/2 if
  graphical output is used. MFjob says it cannot rename a file.
  This happens for instance when creating the MusicTeX fonts.
  Fix: rename mfpm.ovl while creating such fonts to disable graphical
       output
  Or:  Disable the lines containing 'displaying:=2' of the MusicTeX
       mf files by putting a % at the beginning.

- There's a problem with dvihplj /pi*. I'll post the fix as soon as
  I've verified it. dvihplj thinks it could continue an escape sequence
  started before inclusion of the /pi* file. One has to add some
  additional bytes to the end of the included file to make the
  continuation of the escape sequence valid.
