Hello,

I have a miktex installed on xp. Not too long ago I made a update. Yesterday I noticed that mptopdf won't do its job anymore. As I made a copy before upgrading so I could check the behaviour with the old version.

The "old" version (which runs) is mptopdf 1.21 The "new" version is 1.3

The errormessage is:

This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (MiKTeX 2.4) (preloaded format=mptopdf 2005.7.5) 6 JUL 2005 08:53 entering extended mode **fuenf.mp (fuenf.mp [MP to PDF] ! I can't find file `beginfig(1).tex'. <to be read again>

When I replace the new file by the old one everything works again.

Hm, strange. Can you print $command ? { if ($miktex) { if ($dosish) { $command = "pdfetex &mptopdf" } else { $command = "pdfetex \\&mptopdf" } } else { if ($dosish) { $command = "pdfetex -progname=context &mptopdf" } else { $command = "pdfetex -progname=context \\&mptopdf" } } maybe changing the &mptopdf into "-fmt=mptopdf" works better? (we needed the & because of changes in the (e)fmt switch last year in pdftex, maybe we can drop that now, assuming that everyoen has a recent version) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
