C:\Han\slide>mpost --tex=latex 2MS2 This is MetaPost, Version 0.993 (Web2C 7.5.6) (2MS2.mp [0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]makempx: Command failed: mp to -tex 2MS2.mp
So, you should try this command: mpto -tex 2MS2.mp tex-based labels in metapost are not simply created by one program, but a number of programs called in turn. For simplicity's sake, the relevant commands are normally hidden. Taco --------------------------------- Need Mail bonding? Go to the Yahoo! Mail Q&A for great tips from Yahoo! Answers users.
