And maybe not in the beginners manual but I think there should be an updated manual about how to install context. I'm still using a context version from 2004.08 as it is the only one it worked for me. I downloaded as far as I remember=20 the file mswincontext.zip , the stand alone version of context, but the newer versions need Perl and Ruby to be installed.=20 By the way... Are there any sugestions on the installation of Ruby and Perl on windows ?=20 I think there should be some instructions on how to install mswincontex.zip on any system, because the dificulty in installing Context might drive some users away. Anyway... Context is great ! I'm now typesetting my first document with it. :) Thank you, Miguel Queir=F3s
