I exported a diagram from dia 0.92.2 as a metapost tex macro, the mp file
was processed with mpost version 0.641 and the resulting .1 file was ok and
worked in the latex file. I tried the same in dia 9.4 and mpost choked
saying:
C:\Documents and Settings\onionhead\Desktop\currentwork>
This is MetaPost, Version 0.641 (Web2c 7.3.7x)

I can't figure out why you would want to use a tab mark
here. If you just want an ampersand, the remedy is
simple: Just type `I\&' now. But if some right brace
up above has ended a previous alignment prematurely,
you're probably due for more error messages, and you
might try typing `S' now just to see what is salvageable.

of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

Do I have to do something different in 9.4 to get metapost tex macros to
work. The reason I want to use 9.4 is that I heard it had fixed some bugs
about font size for metapost output. I can probably of course find a version
in between 9.2 and 9.4 that works, maybe, but in any case I thought you'd
want to know that there might be a problem with the metapost output?
