Thanks. - there should be a texexec.ini (if not copy texexec.rme to texexec.ini) in which you have to uncomment: set TeXShell to miktex - next you need to generate formats texexec --make --alone --all (maybe without alone) now you should be able to process files with texexec --pdf somefile (more info on how to set up metapost runtime support can be found in the wiki/archives) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
