Hi all,
Recently upgraded to MiKTeX 2.8 - Metpaost is broken!! Checked old
posts which suggested that if the source was in a folder containing a
space, then that was the problem. No, it isn't! My file originally
failed when in d:\_text_book\book4 so I moved it to top level g:
I've copied a test from a command prompt - first a listing to prove a
supposedly missing file is definitely there and second the test.
Thanks for listening ...
Geoff
