i will change whatever is needed, but need clear specs for that, otherwise 
we end up in an add/remove loop; we should also assume the latest miktex; i 
assume that both of you can work that out.

btw, there is a --setfile switch in texexec, that you can use to process a 
dos-like batch file with set var=val lines; that way, you can for instance 
set up winedt on win2k : texexec --setfile=prepare.bat .....

that uses GS, while mptopdf uses tex and thereby produces small files with 
the fonts properly embedded; since mptopdf is a simple plain based format, 
it also runs fast.
