I would like to use the command texexec --mptex myfile.mp because of the commands btex $ .... $ etex in the label-part. Unfortunately I get all the time the message: This is MetaPost, Version 0.641 (MiKTeX 1.20e (Snapshot build 187)) (preloaded mem=plain 2000.9.18) 24 SEP 2000 22:55 **D:\ModernArt\test-file.mp (D:\ModernArt\test-file.mp >> D:\ModernArt\test-file.mp >> D:\ModernArt\test-file.mpx ! Unable to make mpx file. l.3 dotlabel (btex $\frac{x}{y}$ etex,(50,50)); The two files given above are one of your source files and an auxiliary file I need to read to find out what your btex..etex blocks mean. If you don't know why I had trouble, try running it manually through MPtoTeX, TeX, and DVItoMP I can't find the reason. The attempt to try it with TeX failed. I'm running WIN 2000, 128 MB RAM, MiKTeX (LaTeX 1999) and ConTeXt (Ver. 29.05.2000). Thanks for help, regards Peter.
