[Norbert Preining <preining@logic.at>]

Dear Hans, dear Taco, dear all,

supp-pdf.tex, including .mp does not work anymore ...

Minimal test files are:

----- test.tex ------
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\includegraphics{test-0}
\end{document}
----- test.mp -------
beginfig(0);
  draw (0,0)--(1cm,1cm);
  label.lft("Test", (0,0));
endfig;
end
----------------------

The error didn't occur with the supp-pdf.tex from context 2007.09.28.

I checked the two supp-pdf.tex codes and there are quite a lot of
differences. Is this a know problem and how should it be fixed?

Thanks a lot, all the best, and merry christmas

Norbert
