Is it? I couldn't find any file texexec.* on the TeXLive3 CD

OK, now I see why I did not understand the message: you give a
warning, and then die. While I thought: this is a warning only, so why
don't I get this help?
So instead of:
else
{ print " warning : $IniPath not found\n" ;
exit }
you should write:
else die " fatal: $IniPath not found\n";
I then created a ./texexec.ini containing:
set TeXExecutable to pdftex
set TeXFormatPath to /TeX/texmf/web2c/
set ConTeXtPath to /pragma/sources/
and tried again:
/home/wybo/context>texexec t.tex
TeXExec 1.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA 1997-1998
error : ConTeXtPath set to unknown path /pragma/sources
executable : pdftex
format : /TeX/texmf/web2c/cont-nl
inputfile : t
output : standard
interface : nl
TeX run : 1
sh: /TeX/texmf/web2c/cont-nl: No such file or directory
run time : 0
/home/wybo/context>ls /TeX/texmf/web2c/cont-nl*
/TeX/texmf/web2c/cont-nl.fmt
/home/wybo/context>
So texexec doesn't find the format file although it is there!?
(I saw the error about ConTeXtPath but
1. I dont know what this should be and
2. it seems that texexec doesn't use this path.)
