Still not quite

Still not quite

[Johannes Huesing]

Hm, now I've downloaded the verybeta, copied the metafun.mem into place,
copied cont-sys.rme to cont-sys.tex, the text compiles--the only problem
is that the mpost files tend to overwrite each other! Each one's name is
now myfile-mpgraph.1, instead of mpgraph.n with n counting. 

Now I am starting to panic as the slides have to be done by tomorrow six 
in the morning.

Groetjes

no reason for panic, seems like you run context in a mode that assumes real
time metaposting, 

(1) make sure that in cont-sys.tex the flags are set all right
(2) enable write 18

then there are two ways to run the file: 

(1) texexec --nomprun

this produces a big mp file that is processed between runs 

(2) real time processing, which means that context will use as less temp mp
files as possible

I haven't followed the discussion, but perhaps this helps??? This is
the contents of my cont-sys.tex:

----------------------
\runMPgraphicstrue
\runMPTEXgraphicstrue
\recycleMPslotstrue
\useMETAFUNformattrue

\setupoutput[pdftex]

\setupexternalfigures
  [directory=/usr/local/texmf/pdftex]

\usesymbols
	[nav,eur]

\setupsymbolset
	[navigation]
