The installation instructions tell you what to do instead.
so highlighting is working and I can run LaTeX on my TeX files with
either C-c C-c or from the Command menu.
When I come to try and view the dvi file though XEmacs looks for
xdvi. I need to use yap for this. Also I would like to be able to
create a postscript file using dvips and a pdf file using dvipdfm. I
can do these things using a command window but I would like to be
able to do them while still in XEmacs.
Can anyone help with these problems?
The installation instructions? INSTALL.windows tells
11. With XEmacs, AUCTeX and preview-latex should now be active by
default. With Emacs, activation depends on a working
`site-start.d' directory or similar setup, since then the startup
files `auctex.el' and `preview-latex.el' will have been placed
there. If this has not been done, you should be able to load the
startup files manually with
(load "auctex.el" nil t t)
(load "preview-latex.el" nil t t)
in either a site-wide `site-start.el' or your personal startup file
(usually accessible as `~/.emacs' from within Emacs and
`~/.xemacs/init.el' from within XEmacs).
The default configuration of AUCTeX is probably not the best fit
for Windows systems. You might want to additionally use
(require 'tex-mik)
or
(require 'tex-fptex)
in order to get more appropriate values for MikTeX and fpTeX,
respectively.
You can always use
M-x customize-group RET AUCTeX RET
in order to customize more stuff, or use the `Customize' menu.
