I updated last night and now have this problem as well:
dvipdfm will no longer include my EPS files in my documents,
which it used to do fine.

Is there some way I can ask it to talk to my separately
installed GhostScript instead of the one that came with
MiKTeX last night?  I suspect that is the problem.

Thank you,
