Hi Herb. Other packages (hyperref, graphicx) seem to be able to
figure it out witthout an explicit option, presumably from the
global option. Also, it is somewhat confusing that sometimes one
must use dvipdfmx and sometimes one must use dvipdfm and sometimes
either will do. It doesn't help that there is not even a man page
for dvipdfmx. I sent my complaint here because there seemed to be no
other suitable venue.

Best,
