Subdirectory Searching Syntax

Different implementations have elected to use different syntaxes for specifying subdirectory searching. In the interest of typographic clarity, the examples here do not use the replaceable font.

dvips:

via a separate TEXFONTS_SUBDIR environment variable.

emTeX:

t:\edirectory!!; t:\edirectory! for a single level of searching.

Kpathsea:

texmf/subdir//

VMS:

texmf:[directory...]

xdvi (patchlevel 20):

texmf/subdir/**; texmf/subdir/* for a single level of searching.

Y&Y TeX:

t:/directory// or t:\edirectory\e\e.
