Hello Tobias,

Thanks for your help!

Windows98, and I first installed ActivePerl from the activeperl website,
then FPtex from Popineau's site, then I inserted and unpacked cont-tmf.zip
and cont-uti.zip in the texmf tree. Finally I updated to the latest beta
pdfetex.

A few weeks ago i did the install from the Tex Live CD but I found that
that didn't make it easier, I still needed to go look for the nitty gritty
details to get things straight, which is fun work (in retrospect, that is,
after something turned out to work ;-}}}

c:/tex/texmf/context/config/texexec.ini

AH! That's it!! When I copied runperl.exe -> texexec.exe and the files near
it from the context directory to the BIN directory, I also renamed the
texexec.rme to texexec.ini and put it there in the BIN as well.

Stupid of me!

I corrected that (I replaced the ini file in /context/config by the one
that I had put in BIN directory) and now I can successfully create format
files...

whew. Thanks for that pointer!!

Groet,

Frans
