Even 3.40 is difficult to download. Usually only some polite "bandwidth exceeded" message appears. I don't know if the development of the program is stil in progress, but they could switch to sourceforge. The version on CTAN is 3.31 - this is the one which doesn't work even for simple conversions outside ConTeXt. The paragraph I posted to the list was taken from "New or changed in 3.32". This means that version 3.31 can't cope with the old GS. pstoedit 3.40 seems to work as well. I can make conversions from postscript to metapost outside ConTeXt without any problem. Also the posted example with metafun trickery works somehow. It crashes the pstoedit program, but obviously pstoedit manages to produce the proper output before crashing. I sent a short email to the email mentioned on the webpage - I hope they will answer. Mojca ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
