<div>Hello,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have downloaded MetaPost version 0.901 and got two folders: Metapost and Miktex.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>How do I add it to my old version 0.9 incorporated in Miktex?</div>
<div>Do I simply place the files ih the three subdirectories \base, \bin and \mem in the corresponding</div>
<div>subdirectories of c:\Program Files\Miktex\doc\metapost of the old version?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Should I refresh Miktex afterwards?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am quite inexperienced with computer techniques.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am using MikTex incorporated in WinEdt, loaded in Oct,11, 2003.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Also, is there any documentation, or at least examples that show how to use these macros?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Sincerely,</div>
<div> </div>
