Some texexec/MP problems

[Jens-Uwe Morawski <morawski@gmx.net>]

Hi,

i have some problems with the MP support of texexec:

1. a MP input that has no line-break or whitespace after the "end"
   results in mptrace.mp in "endend"

   Thus a job 'texexec --mptex myfile.mp' does not
   finish correctly. Maybe texexec should add an additional line-break.

2. many of my MP files include more than 100 figures.
   I use currently

  texexec --pdf --fig=c myfile.[0-9] myfile.[1-9][0-9] myfile.[1-9][0-9][0-9]

   to have all figures in _one_ PDF file. But the result ist always the file
   texexec.pdf. The texexec option --result=myfile.pdf leads to a missing
   myfile.mps. Is this a bug?

3. The strange looking 'myfile.[0-9] myfile.[1-9][0-9] myfile.[1-9][0-9][0-9]'
   is necessary to keep the order of the figures, since normally 'myfile.*'
   expands in a shell to 'myfile.1 myfile.10 myfile.11 ... myfile.2'

   Is it possible to let
    'texexec --pdf --fig=c myfile' expand the file-names correctly itself?

Thanks,
  Jens
