part of the problem is that when no progname is given, the format should determine the progname (at least that was the case soem tiem ago) but then, mpost is behaving weird with respect to mem vars anyway; the current (context) approach is 'use metafun everywhere a prognam eis needed' [a problem, at least in the past, is that there were tetex versions with no metafun entries in texmf.cnf so we went back to mpost as progname for a while] > Greetings, Taco > > Taco Hoekwater wrote: > > Hans van der Meer wrote: > > > >> 2.
