I would appreciate your advise very much. You're getting good info. Here's my $0.02: 1.) I can speak only for MiKTeX, but its remote setup and maintenance facililty works like a dream. ConTeXt included. 2.) The ConTeXt docs require patience. 3.) There are a few bugs. 4.) I think it is much more sensible than LaTeX (ymmv) 5.) Editors: At a cocktail party, there are three subjects you should never discuss: sex, politics, and editors. Attention SciTE users: huh? I have a reasonably new SciTE and there is no mention of ConTeXt. There was discussion some time ago about Hans' version of SciTE, but the link to it (http://www.pragma-ade.com/scite) has been empty for quite some time. Is this a dead idea, or is it hiding under a rock somewhere? -gary
