O.k. I found it myself ...

This error is due to the confusing (sorry) structure of the beta download
page. There is a box with cont-tmf.zip and cont-doc.zip -- and this
cont-doc.zip is the one that produces the errors ...

But, there is another box below the aforementioned one that has
cont-doc.zip, too.  And this one makes it's job.

Thanks! That was the link I needed and the source seems to be more than 
only "rather" well documented.

In reading it I found that many lines in m-bib.tex and in many other 
ConTeXt-files begin with a %D and themeselves contain TeX-code. I guess 
this is a documentation indicator and that there is a possibiliy to make 
pdfs containing the documentation from this %D-statements.

After some searching and reading in the ConTeXt-docs I came to the point, 
where I downloaded cont-doc.zip, unpacked it and actually am asking myself 
how to use it.

Does someone have some hints for me?

Who's Taco and what's bibtex++?
I know of BibTeX, which is a bibliography-package for LaTeX. Is bibtex++ an 
extension to BibTeX or something competitive to BibTeX.
Couldn't get my hands on this. A search for BibTeX at lycos gave me 52000 
matches and no bibtex++ in the first 100.

I'm still interested in this - in bibtex++ and the ConTeXt compatible module.
So, if someone has some more info about this, I would be glad, if he shared 
it with me.

Happy Easter to all of you

texexec --module m-bib

(or any other context file, but be careful with core-01a...)

Ok! I copied all the files from m-bibn.zip and cont-doc.zip into a fresh 
new directory, ran
texexec -module m-bib
and got

This seems to be a bug in setupb.tex, isn't it?

It's not the fault of m-bib.tex. I tried it with other files and had the 
same result.

In setupb all context commands are defined in terms of their syntax. This
file is included in the doc zip file and should be in sync with the mult-*
files, since it uses variables defined there. So, you should update to the
latest context (your setupb is now newer that the rest).

I have discovered the same problem but with a different error message
    ! Undefined control sequence.
    \!!stringa ->\@@setup \y!laag

This happens right after installing a new version of context (2000.4.11)
along with the cont-doc macros downloaded the same time from the same place.
