Hello Dennis,

OK, so now to step two. Please try some btex...etex stuff (from your original post) and see if that is working fine.

?

Of course it works fine.

Perhaps it is obvious for you, it was not for me. Since the write18 stuff does behave somewhat different than the regular texexec mechanism (see supp-mps.tex), there were chances that your patch does not catch the write18 mpto (dvitomp,...) case. But after some tests it looks good to me.

Now it would be nice to see some miktex, fptex, someothertex users test this to see if there are any unseen drawbacks. Perhaps one day this error will vanish.

...

This is what my patch is all about: if i use the original texexec, btex etex stuff doesn't work, after the patch it works as I suppose it should (ie the same way it does without btex etex, the mpgraph PS file is created automatically when needed)

there is much more than just running mpost as you have probably seen.

Can someone summarize the problem?
