#### metapost problem

Hello, I've updated miktex 2.8 to 2.9.

This file :

%prologues := 3 ;

verbatimtex
%&latex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tarassmetapost}
%\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\begin{document}
etex;

input Macros-nk ;

u := 1cm ;

beginfig(1)
z0=(0,0); z1=(2u,7u); z2=1/2[z0,z1];z3=(7u,7u);z4=(5u,0); z5=1/2[z3,z4];
draw
(0,0)--(5u,0)--(7u,2u)--(7u,7u)--(5u,5u)--(5u,0)--(0,0)--(0,5u)--(2u,7u)--(7u,7u)--(5u,5u)--(0,5u);
draw (0,0)--(2u,2u)--(2u,7u) withpen pencircle dashed evenly;
draw (7u,2u)--(2u,2u) withpen pencircle dashed evenly;
%draw (3.5u,u)--(7u,7u) withpen pencircle dashed evenly;
%draw (2u,2u)--(5u,0) withpen pencircle dashed evenly;
%draw (5u,0)--(7u,7u);

label.bot(btex A etex, (0,0));
label.bot(btex B etex, (5u,0));
label.rt(btex C etex, (7u,2u));
label.lft(btex D etex, (2u,2u));
label.lft(btex E etex, (0,5u));
label.top(btex H etex, (2u,7u));
label.top(btex G etex, (7u,7u));
label.rt(btex F etex, (5u,5u));
label.lft(btex $O_1$ etex, z2 );
label(btex $\times$ etex, z2);
label.rt(btex $O_2$ etex, z5 );
label(btex $\times$ etex, z5);

endfig;
end

give me .log :

A etex, (0,0));
The two files given above are one of your source files
and an auxiliary file I need to read to find out what your
btex..etex blocks mean. If you don't know why I had trouble,
try running it manually through MPtoTeX, TeX, and DVItoMP

The command line est mpost -tex=latex. What must i do ?

Thanks, Jean-�ric.

Changing

verbatimtex
%&latex

to

verbatimtex%&latex

should solve the problem. As far as I remember, this is a
=93feature=94 (or a =93bug=94, depending how you see it) introduced with mp=
ost
1.210, by which *anything* after verbatimtex and up to etex, including
any whitespace and newlines, are left intact. This causes some
trouble, because %&latex ends up in the second line of the generated
file (given that the newline after verbatimtex is not stripped out)
and the tex processor does not parse it. So, that directive ends up
being ignored.

You may take a look at the release notes for mpost >1.210 to check
whether such behaviour has been corrected (I do not remember now).

Sorry, I have read your post too quickly. Actually, I am able to
compile your code if I comment the \usepackage{tarassmetapost} line (I
do not have that package). Are you sure that package is found? A look
into mpxerr.log should tell you what is wrong.

\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,times,mathrsfs}

\newcommand{\Calig}[1]{\ensuremath{\mathscr{#1}}}
\newcommand{\C}{\Calig{C}}

but i've got the same matter.
I'll see later the problem, ans try to solve it.

domain abuse: spam problem
Hi! I hold two domain names at a German service provider (Strato). This service provider provides several e-mail accounts with my domain names. If a mail is being sent to a unknown e-mail address, e.g. some.unknown.person@my-domain.de, it will be put to my main mail account for this domain. I have realized that someone abuses my domain names for sending spam: He/she auto-generates user names and adds "@my-domain.de". Not every mail reaches its destination, some user are not known. What happens now is that I get more than 100 return messages every day (amount increasing) from vario...

Strange NFS Problem
Hi all! Today I found a strange behaviour in our NAS environment. NAS Server is a Dell PowerVault 705N and exports one share to Windows and Solaris. Now the problem: On windows in a directory /foo/bar I can see about 161 files - but under Solaris 8 there are only 53 files visible. But I can access them if I know their names - they are just invisible against ls, cp and so on. All rights are set to 775 on the entire tree and user and group ids are also correct. At this point I thought that maybe the PowerVault uses ACLs to hide some files to the Solaris world, but... ... if I use a D...

Problem using/installing numarray
I'm trying to use the 'numarray' package (v1.1.1) under Python 2.4 running under CygWin. I initially downloaded the Windows executable version of the numarray package, and installed it under C:\program files\python\lib\site-packages. That works with the Windows version of Python, but not the CygWin version, where it fails with the msg: ImportError: No module named _conv The file _conf.pyd exists, but my guess is that the .pyd suffix is not recognized under the CygWin version of Python. (But that doesn't make sense...) So I decided to download the .tgv version of the numa...

I thought it might because of the vertex normal, but can't find any help from the help menu of MATLAB. Is it because this method is kind of different? Does anybody give me some more sugguestion?

makedepf90 problem
Hello all, I am using makedepf90 to generate the dependency file for a Makefile. It always worked without problems, until I encountered a strange problem. The majority of the depend-file was in order.

File ownership "memory" problem
Hello On one of my Debian Sarge machines, the .ICEauthority file for a particular user has a "memory" problem as far as ownership goes. When I set up this machine a few months ago, logged in as root, I su'ed to that user and ran a few kde programs (which presumably created this .ICEauthority file with root ownership). Now, every few days (and this is erratic - it can be every 2 logins or it can be every 10 logins), when I login as that user, I get a fatal error complaining that that user does not have write permissions to .ICEauthority. I then have to get back to kdm, switch ...

This is the first problem. However if I manually change t...
