I'm not able to mpost things alone at the moment because of my earlier- described texnum.mpx weirdness. So I run all my MP graphics from within ConTeXt right now. When I get home, I'll try to investigate this side further, though. I'm aware of the MP number limit, but MP-graph has its stated (and empirical) limits at 32768. Anyway, I tried variants with all numbers in quotes. It made a difference with numbers over 2^15, but not in the test cases that I sent. It could well have to do with the big number limit, but I'm very confident it's not that alone. Thanks, adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
