Hi. I'm a MikTeX's long time user whi has recenly changed from Windows XP to MAC OS. However, since I cannot live without the duo WinEdt/MikTEX I installed both in a Parallels Windows XP virtual machine (Parallels is similar to VMWare). Everything works fine except dvi2pdf. First of all, tools reported the following: CMD.EXE was started with the above path as the current directory. UNC paths are not supported. Defaulting to Windows directory. I fixed this by adding to the registry of the virtual machine the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Software / Microsoft / Command processor / DisableUNCCheck REG_DWORD 0x1 (hex) The only problem is dvi2pdf that does not handle paths such as, e.g, \\.psf\Home\Documents\LaTeX\PAPER10\paper.tex Here's an example when I run dvi2pdf paper.dvi -> paper.pdf [1][2][3][4][5Error: /undefinedfilename in (//.psf/Home/Documents/LaTeX/PAPER10/solvent.eps) Operand stack: Execution stack: %interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- false 1 %stopped_push Dictionary stack: --dict:1155/1684(ro)(G)-- --dict:0/20(G)-- --dict:70/200(L)-- Current allocation mode is local Last OS error: No such file or directory MiKTeX GPL Ghostscript 8.60: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1 ** WARNING ** Filtering file via command -->mgs.exe -q -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sPAPERSIZE=a0 -s DEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.3 -dAutoFilterGrayImages=false -dGrayImageFilter=/F lateEncode -dAutoFilterColorImages=false -dColorImageFilter=/FlateEncode -dUseFlateCompres sion=true -sOutputFile="C:/MikTeX/miktex/temp/mik5.tmp" "//.psf/Home/Documents/LaTeX/PAPER10/solvent.eps" -c quit<-- failed. ** WARNING ** Image format conversion for "//.psf/Home/Documents/LaTeX/PAPER10/solvent.eps" failed... ** ERROR ** pdf_ref_obj(): passed invalid object. Output file removed. Press any key to continue . . . To summarize: all tools work fine, except dvi2pdf. Of course that I can always do: dvips -> gsview -> convert to pdf, but it is not quite the same thing. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Regards, Paulo Mota (P.S. I installed TeXWorks but is not the same as WinEdt/MikTeX...) -------------------------------------- José Paulo Mota Requimte/CQFB Chemistry Department FCT-UNL 2829-516 Caparica Portugal Tel.: 351-21-294-8385 Fax: 351-21-294-8550 E-mail: pm...@dq... -------------------------------------- |

If you pass /persistent:yes to net use then it will reconnect the mapping every time you start the computer. David |

Dear David: Thanks for your reply and suggestion. Indeed, parallels maps the Windows "My documents" to /home/Users/pmota/Documents. I could simply work in a directory created in the virtual disc C: created by parallels and it would work fine. I tested your method of mapping \\.psf\Home\Users\pmota\Documents to z: but the problem persists. When I open a file with WinEdt it shows me its full path, which starts with \\.psf\home\Users\pmota\Documents Therefore, dvi2pdf still does not work because it does bot accept UNC paths Thanks for your suggestions.

Now it works. Although I mapped \\.psf\home\User\pmota\Documents I did not change the properties in the "My documents" shortcut (I do not think this one 1s a true shortcut). Now that I have mapped the Windows "My Documents" to "\\.psf\home\Users\pmota\Documents" all works well. Thank you for the advice.
