<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi again,<BR>
Yes now I get an EPS file with the outputtemplate:="%j-%c.eps"; I set prologues to 3 in my gnuplot and this is then included in the generated mp file. I added the extra line outputtemplate:="%j-%c.eps"; and now it works fine! I get myfig-number.eps where number is a numeral.<BR>
<BR>
The generated EPS file is about the same size to that which I obtained with the conversion at <A HREF="http://www.tlhiv.org/mppreview/">http://www.tlhiv.org/mppreview/</A> .<BR>
<BR>
The mptopdf is still not working, but it's not an issue anymore. I can easily generate a PDF if I now have the EPS.<BR>
<BR>
Many thanks for your very kind help.<BR>
<BR>
With Best Regards,<BR>

It does in fact create eps, but it still uses the default naming<BR>
scheme. To prevent having to rename the output figures, add<BR>
<BR>
outputtemplate:="%j-%c.eps";<BR>
<BR>
to the metapost source.<BR>

In that case, I can't help with that, sorry.<BR>
