Hullo,

AFAIK MPtoPDF only suppots the conversion of one MPS file
in one PDF file. Would it be possible to enhance MPtoPDF
in a way that it can build a PDF from multiple MPS files.

Here i mean only files with equal <jobname>, e.g. example.1,
example.2 ... example.6 become example-c.pdf (c=collection).

Maybe the Perl-programm can support the command line switch
--collection/-c, then all MPS files will be included in
one PDF file, every figure on its own page and (i hope it is possible)
every page/Mediabox fits the size of the figure on this page.

Thanks in advance.

Jens
