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 :)
