Re: [NTG-context] Trying MPtoPDF!
Dear Vladimir, after processing your file graph1_mp.mp by typing $mpost graph1_mp.mp (or: mp graph1_mp.mp) you should get a file graph1_mp.1 (if the figure is numbered by beginfig(1) ). Then you can convert this file by typing $mptopdf graph1_mp.1 Greetings Albrecht On Mon, 10 Jan 2011, Vladimir Lomov wrote: ** Verhaag, G.C.H.M.

We could have modified the string, but we don't. We simply take what's in pdfTeX source repository. (Now we don't even do that any more.) Most binaries for ConTeXt minimals siply come from TeX Live anyway.
