Re: "Simple" TeX problem

["Giuseppe Bilotta" <oblomov@freemail.it>]

There's no texmf.cnf in MikTeX. I think that the file to modify is
miktex.ini, in the \texmf\miktex\config directory; find [MiKTeX] in that
file, and tune the appropriate  parameters. Btw, I had no problems in
dumping the ConTeXt formats with my MiKTeX 1.20e.

-- Hans: it would be nice if, at least when using MiKTeX, texexec supported
the --src  command line option to insert source specials in the DVI.
