I have the most recent stable pdfTeX and ConTeXt versions, but when I ran he recently posted shading example, I got an error message during my texexec run saying that metafun.mem could not be found, was using mpost.mem instead. I scanned dejanews and google, but no mention of metafun.mem Any help welcome. -- Tom Porter txporter@mindspring.com -------------------------------------------------------------------- "On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?'
