		The main source files for MetaPost are located in src/texk/web2c; auxiliary programs that process included TeX commands are contained in the subdirectory src/texk/web2c/mpware; standard macro files and such are distributed below the top-level./texmf directory.

		As you will see in the next pages, MetaPost allows to make basic stuff or funny things; but it also allows to draw very precise shapes, curves and designs.
		My very opinion is that this language is very natural, easy to handle, almost never tricky (when one wants to do tricky things, he always does it in tricky way).
		I've seen so many drawings where circles were not of the same size even if they were supposed to be so, where paths or lines did not join other elements even if they were supposed to do so...
