[MiKTeX] MetaPost: default interaction mode

[Stephan H. <mai...@ar...>]

Hi,

the mpost executable distributed by MiKTeX 2.7 runs in "nonstopmode"
mode, by default.  According to MetaPost developers mpost's default
interaction mode is "errorstopmode".  To quote from a mail on
mp-implementors list:

Is the change of default interaction mode intentional?  I propose to
restore that to "errorstopmode".  BTW, MiKTeX's latex.exe runs in
"errorstopmode".
