Hello,
I'm finishing the integration of John Hobby's MetaPost to kerTeX.
Since MetaPost can work with either some instance of TeX or troff for
formatting labels included in the figures, it can be of general use even
for troff only users.
So the question:
MetaPost was first named (for plain format) mp(1) but renamed mpost(1)
since there was a mp(1) PostScript formatting program (on Solaris
initially, if I'm not mistaken).
Is this later program still of wide use (seems not touched since 2002)?
I'm rather inclined to give MetaPost "its" name back, so mp(1).
By the way (more for John Hobby), the torture test will be given a
distinct name: twist (trip is for TeX; trap is for METAFONT).
