Dear all, using the example below with texexec --pdf example.tex metapost comes up with its prompt - answering \bye results in a correct pdf file. Whats going wrong? How can I debug that? BTW, is it possible just to extract the flowchart as a file? I found the --figures=c switch but it doesn't seem to do what I want.
