[metapost] how to use mpstoeps on a Windows machine

[Yogeshwarsing Calleecharan]

Hi,
   Thanks for the tip. I have another problem. I have TexLive 2009 on my machine with metapost version 1.208 .However as I'm getting problems to run powerdot with TL2009, I have put back an old image containing TL2008 back on my machine. For TL2008, the version of metapost was 1.005 .

I went to http://foundry.supelec.fr/gf/project/metapost/frs/ to download the source metapost-1.208-src.tar.bz2 . I have a win XP machine and I can't understand how to go about to replace the old metapost version in TL2008 with the most recent one.


Will the update to metapost 1.208 give me all the fuctionalities of metapost as in TL2009 despite the installation of metapost will be done in TL2008? Or is it better to run the latest metapost from TL2009?


Thank you very much in anticipation


Best Regards,
Yogeshwarsing

If you have mpost 1.20X you can do that on the commandline:

  mpost --sprologues=3 -soutputtemplate='"%j-%c.eps"' test

(depending on your operating system, you may have to remove the single
quotes)

Best wishes,
