[NTG-context] useMPgraphic scaling

With images one can scale them on placement, for example \externalfigure[][scale=250,height=..] etc. Is such a scaling or separate height,width setting also possible with the placement of useMPgraphic? Or needs all scaling of thesebe done within the metapost/metafun code? Hans van der Meer

Re: [NTG-context] typebuffer different from typefile

I need to convert some old dvi files into pdf. One of the routes seems dvi --(dvips) ->- ps --> pdf But dvips (taken from the ConTeXt-beta distribution) complains "Couldn't find header file: tex.pro" Where can I find it? It doesn't seem present in the above mentioned distribution. Or is there a
