MetaPost output doesn't show here (teTeX-20021116, debian-woody PC) the current date/time, but the date/time of teTeX build. Also not in the %CreationDate comment, Is this ok? An example:
beginfig(1) label(decimal(day) & decimal(month) & decimal(year), (100mm,150mm)); endfig; end This gives still 16112002 here. Greetings Hartmut
