yes, it works!

Now it works even on my old distrib also. Seems the crutial line was inside this vardef:

vardef add_special_signal = % write the version number if (length _global_specials_ <> 0) or (length _local_specials_ <> 0) : special ("%%MetaPostSpecials: 2.0 " & decimal _special_signal_ & " " & decimal _special_div_) ; fi ; enddef ;

indeed, i pass the value to the mp to pdf converter so that old files still work ok; otherwise we get a truckload of compatibility problems Hans
