Hi,
I want to write a macro that checks for some settings and if the settings are wrong stop the current compilation and terminate with an error message. Right now I have
\def\ERROR {\writeline \showmessage\??externalfilter??{forbidden}\getexternalfilterdirectory \batchmode \normalend}
Well, the first thought that came in my mind is using os.exit(1):
\def\ERROR{\directlua{os.exit(1)}}
But since this is pretty obvious, I'm sure I'm missing something.
I want the code to also work with MkII, so I did not even think of a lua solution :)
For some reason I was assuming the external filter module is MkIV only thing, now I wounder from where I got that impression. Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer
