When I run the command 'mptopdf xx.mp', it'll complain 'can't find context.fmt'. The parameters of pdfetex in line 104 should be changed, place -fmt ahead of -progname.

should be: { $command = "pdfetex -undump=mptopdf" } since miktex does not accept the web2c flags

else ! { $command = "pdfetex -fmt=mptopdf -progname=context" } if ($dosish) { $command = "$command \\relax $file" } else

interesting that the order matters, i never noticed; makes tex into a gambling machine Hans
