Hello Wilfried,

 

Recently I switched from Word to = Context. I used the TexLive distribution which is = offered at 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.
