Hi!I am using ppower4 for some years now and was so far happy with it. Now I changed to a new computer and while some presentations compile as before, I have a problem with one special overhead in which I am using a multiple metapost (mmp) graph that should appear step-by-step. I have included that page in a number of presentations and I have a number of saved pdf files in which everything is fine. However, recompiling the unmodified LaTeX file and using ppower4 does not work anymore. I have also redone the xxx.mmp file (using xfig) and transformed it with mpost, no change. I have checked the corresponding example from http://www-sp.iti.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/software/xfig/ and it compiles fine also on my new computer! Substitution of my xxx.0, xxx.1, xxx.2, ... files with example.0, example.1, ... again results in an error message. The error message itself is unfortunaetely not really helpful: <Begin output> This is PPower4 version 0.9.4. [1Exception in thread "main" de.tu_darmstadt.sp.pencil.TokenMgrError: Lexical error at line 9, column 8.
