I see another problem with this patch. I think that it is Windows centric, as DraftDVI is a Windows only thing. Then, the test for an executable file is replaced with a test for a readable file. I think that this fact can be dangerous on *nix. That said, this patch would also be useful for cygwin (apart the test for a readable file rather than an executable one, of course ;-)) I think that it can be done in configure.m4 after a proper test for the system target type. I'll have a look at it if nobody beats me. -- Enrico
