The fatal format error is simply that the format file isn't there, and the unsolved problem is that texexec looks for this particular format file at all rather than for cont-en.fmt. texexec.ini specifies an english interface and I didn't use command-line options to contradict that. With the sample files this problem didn't occur, and I can run Context manually just fine. As to the date of pdftex: am I right in believing that old pdftex's are ok for dvi? At the moment I am not yet seriously into direct pdf generation, and I don't like piecemeal upgrading so I'ld rather wait till later this year.
