Hello, I decided to have some (Meta)fun, and began from the most basic things:
embedded metapost in context. But it seems that it doesn't work in DVI mode.
Take following snippet:

%cont-en
\setupcolors[state=start]

\startMPgraphic
   fill fullcircle scaled 200pt withcolor .625white
\stopMPgraphic

\loadcurrentMPgraphic

\starttext
\placeMPgraphic
\stoptext

and compile it: with --pdf, it works flawlessy; in dvi mode, the "unknown
cs"error is issued (the unknown cs is \MPprologues). Any ideas?

Thanks for your attention,

Giuseppe Bilotta
