Bug in TeX mode!

Bug in TeX mode!

[Idris S Hamid]

In TeX and Gamma modes, the default settings for headings like \chapter don't 
work properly. In the following example,

============test.tex==========
\starttext
\chapter{Test}
\stoptext

the default format gives the correct results (\bfc) but

--tex=tex and --tex=omega

do not execute the size changing commands.

I have a big deadline approaching so I'm desparate:-)

Best wishes

I cannot even generate a decent omega any longer with my current win binaries

I wonder why it fails, since this is just rather normal font stuff,

Fabrice wrote me a few days ago saying that he will be releasing a new batch 
of 1.15 binaries as well as 1.23 binaries (so a user can pick the one 
desired).  

But if we can get things working for --tex=tex that should automatically take 
care of the toc and ch. headings problems for omega as well. I think footnote 
numbering has the same problem as well. 

I wanted to add Arabic to a report I'm writing in ConTeXt and I'm too far 
along to fall back on LaTeX

Weird indeed...

can you test tex versus etex ?

I did that; --tex=tex does not behave properly. It gives the same problems as 
--tex=omega.

ah, indeed tex specific; some time ago i have optimized a couple of test 
macros but while testing only optimizedthe etex specific ones. Normally 
this does not hurt. But, because this optimization makes those 
\let\next\... carry over \else/fi's obsolete, i occasionally optimize other 
macros that depend on those test macros, which means that an not yet 
optimized pure tex text macro gets in the way; took me a while to track 
that down -)

Although you can probably do with a new syst-gen.tex, i suggest that you 
take the beta i'm uploading now (takes some 10 minutes)

I downloaded (hours later) it but it appears that the newest files are dated 
June 7. Is this the right one?

I think the link of the beta is wrong. it seems the correct link is:

http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/beta/cont-tmf.zip
