Hello!

Whilst preparing some slides for DANTE I got the same
or a similar problem like Patrick...

- texexec tries to run mpost (no error, but apparently no effect)
- a myjob-mpgraph.mp is created
- if I run 'mpost -progname=mpost -mem=metafun myjob-mpgraph',
  as it texexec does, a myjob-mpgraph.1 is created.

  But this way I only get the last metapost graphic of the job,
and that's a bit few for several flowcharts and the presentation styles.

- cont-sys.tex seems to be ok (the '\let\initializeMPgraphics\empty' 
  hack has no effect) 
- surely no PATH problem 
- I rebuilt the formats and didn't forget texhash (mktexlsr) 
- my pdfTeX is V.14g, ConTeXt the last week's beta

a part of the log:

---

\openout2 = `mpgraph.mp'.

Randomizer initialized to 1575252551.
