<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi,<BR>
I'll answer your questions:<BR>
<BR>
1. What do you mean? No output?<BR>
I don't get any EPS file. When I run mpost on my file myfig.mp, I get myfig.2 (the number at the end varies as you know). So I don't get any EPS file generated. Setting the prologues:=3 doesn't seem to generate the EPS file.<BR>
<BR>
2. Is there an error message?<BR>
No, nothing at all. I tried just to run it on a non-existent file (garbage characters) and I still don't get any error messages. It only gives me the impression that it's being executed without any errors.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks again<BR>
