Haaaalp!  :|

I've downloaded PasTeX from ab20, and can't do much.  I've downloaded
enough pk-fonts, etc etc. and I can tex-ify docs. but only certain ones.
I.E.  I can't get docs from my school's Unix system tex'ed, nor can I
use the flibs I generated with flib.  Also, I've had trouble using
gf2pk - it says it can't find the gf file (I got a batch off of one
of the Stanford sites.)  ugh!  I have an A2000 w/2M fast 1M chip, 40MB HD,
if it helps (prob. not).  ShowDVI won't find the files (yes, I read the
manual... all manuals I've read, all files I've examined, ALL).

fontlib (dir) has lots of PK%04d format files I made with flib.
pk (dir) has only 83/%s.83pk left, which is the only size SDVI can find
  anymore.  I've tried fooling around with ShowDVI.fnt in config (dir)
  to no avail.

Right now, it's taking up at least 15% of my HD space, and I'm prepared
to scrap it (I REALLY DO want to learn and use TeX, esp. for AMSTeX's
capabilities which I also have). 

One other thing... where can I find line*.*pk and logo*.*pk ?

ADtanksVANCE ;),
