Try to increase first the limits you have reached. + In order to do this, create a texmf.cnf file and put the + environment variables with the new values. Recreate the metapost format + with inimpost mpost.ini, but be sure the texmf.cmf file you have + created is taken into account. (Do something like setenv TEXMFCNF .: + or export TEXMF=.: if needed.) And then compile again. + Eventually, you should be able to compile the example. + + Note: the compilation of proofex.mp is very slow, be patient. + +Documentation +------------- + + A manual is in the doc directory. + The metaobj.mp code is not formatted with mft, because mft can't + handle many of metaobj's idiosyncrasies. + + +Denis Roegel, August 2, 2003. + + |
