Just as an example, one can do this in LaTeX: \NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}[1995/12/01] (there are a few related commands) so you can make sure to have LaTeX2e newer than the given date. But I don't know how to get the metafun format number. One can't pass mpost variables back to TeX? Patrick -- You are your own rainbow!
