Thanks for the reply. I work with MikTeX and TeXnicCenter. You 
mean=
 that instead of a standalone program I can incorporate the 
MetaPost fi=
gure(s) directly into LaTeX and view the results 
from there? It is poss=
ible to create  pdf, png, jpeg files from 

the same MetaPost code? I need these graphics for other 
applications (l=
ike Openoffice, etc.,).

Thanks again,
constantine
