Hi all,

I'm not fully up to date in the dicussions here but it seems a recent
exchange is about a problem I am experiencing also, namely context/PDFtex
saying a mpgraph is not to be found, when in fact it is located in the same
directory as the .tex file...

How do I do this enabling? The texmf.cnf in my personal directory has:

% Enable system commands via \write18{...}?
shell_escape = t

the one in the recently updated FPTEX directory has:

% Enable system commands via \write18{...}?
shell_escape = f

but I can't find a text explaining what the t or f variable mean.

Any ideas are welcome, in the emantime I'll try it by uneducated guesswork

Groet!
