Summary: 22.74 wrongly appends .dvi extension

Initial Comment:
Posted by David Feest to c.t.t.
(<200...@sn...>): 

I'm using xemacs whith whizzytex-mode, which produces
files with the extension .wdvi is used and updates them
regularily. Viewing these files worked fine in
combination whith the old xdvik but does not work with
version 22.74. The reason is, that the new xdvik looks
assumes the extension .dvi for any file. E.g., instead
of opening _whizzy_text.wdvi it looks for
_whizzy_text.wdvi.dvi -- and fails! 

Any suggestions about how to solve this problem?

I don't want to switch to advi since I use
postscript-fonts!

Fixed in 22.74.1-RC6 by only appending `.dvi' if the
filename argument does not already have an extension.
