Hello Wilfried,
 
Recently I switched from Word to Context. I used the TexLive
distribution which is offered at www.fptex.org <http://www.fptex.org/> .
 
You have to download about 455 Mbytes. Then start the setup and accept
the default installation. When all is finished it gives a 
right out the box working Text environment, including ConTeXT. Perl and
ghostscript work and also the environment variables are all there.
 
I use the WinEdt editor. The editor is Tex aware and works very nice
together with the TeXLive environment.

Onderwerp: [NTG-context] Windows xp user wants to begin with context
 
Hi
 
I'm a complete ms word user who wants to convert to context to make his
mathematical textbooks. I have windows xp on my computer, but nothing
(really nothing like perl, editor's or distribution) else. What exactly
have i to do make my pc work with context?
By the way, don't say to me to read the how to install context manual
which are not meant to read by absolute beginners. I've spent hours on
looking around on internet, on the pragma-website, reading manuals, but
i don't find something clear and simple what tells me exactly to do and
in which order to let me begin working with context. There seems to be
so many pre-knowledge about perl, command line commands, and so on..
But can anybody out there please tell me how i can start from the very
beginning.
I would appreciate your advise very much. 
To set it clear: i'm not a linux or unix-user, i use windowx xp.
I really want to begin with context, but there seems to be so many
obstacles to overwin. Many thanks in advance.
