Hello All,
For no apparent reason metapost often refuses to run a file (perhaps
this is related to my previous question??). When context generates the
mpgraph.mp and metapost is run its log file is:
This is MetaPost, Version 0.641 (Web2C 7.3.1) (mem=metafun 2000.9.14)
14 SEP 2000 07:21
**&metafun mpgraph
(mpgraph.mp)
! Emergency stop.
<*> &metafun mpgraph
*** (job aborted, no legal end found)
However, if I manually say metapost &metafun mpgraph everything is fine.
Groetjes,
Berend. (-:

You have to put end at the end of file, like this:
end

It looks like something goes wrong there. In any case, at least the latest
texexec, will add the end for you. Also, \stoptext (\stoptekst) will do
that. I'm puzzled.
