Re: problem with file database in mp.992

It is:

C:\TeXlive\bin\win32\mpost.exe

Sorry for the following misleading sentence: binary was 
taken from zip archive metapost-0.992-windows.zip. Only the 
mem file was generated and moved to the appropriate place. 
(I still did not tested 0.993 version, mea culpa)...

But it was compiled outside of the TeXlive tree and moved 
into the
corresponding directory (and mem file, resp.) after some 
elementary tests.

Thanks,
Karel
