First of, many thanks to gurunandan r. bhat, boon van der RJ and eli
zaretskii for responding to my question regarding how to set up dviwin
for use with the djgpp distribution of TeX.

as always, it turned out to be extra easy.

i did not edit any ini files or any batch files. here is what i did:

Resolution: Check 300
Options-font Directory: d:\djgpp\share\texmf\fonts\pk\cx\public\cm\dpi$r

the next step is to tell dviwin what to do in case some fonts are
missing. you have to choices (other than 'do nothing'.) either spawn a
program for each missing font, or create a batch file with the commands
for each font, and spawn that. the latter is more efficient. so i did:

Options-mIssing fonts: Click Append line to ...

then

Line: MakeTeXPK $f $x $X
File: $(temp)\missing.bat
Cmd : d:\dviwin\genall.bat $(TEMP)\missing.bat

now genall.bat comes with the dviwin distribution, and i did not edit it
at all. you will want to edit the pif settings for this batch file, if
you want to get the maximum dpmi memory.

if you would prefer to spawn MakeTeXPK for each font, then 
Options-mIssing fonts: 
Execute cmd: MakeTeXPK $f $x $X

in both cases, you might have to add more options to the MakeTeXPK
command for the particular metafont modes you need.

of your e-mail's to me on my web page. let me know.
