If you're referring to my post, I'd recommend Simon's script:

http://www.hobby.nl/~scaprea/context/#installer

I just place everything -- the script, the cont-tmf.zip file, and the 
version of texexec he has on his site -- in one directory, and run the 
script to install into my ~/Library/texmf directory.  Works like a 
charm.

OK, thanks to a (completely independent) post that just came in, I see that
I have a very old version of TeXexec.  I should upgrade.  But where is it?
This page
http://www.pragma-ade.com/texexec.htm
points to the general download page
http://www.pragma-ade.com/download.htm
but I can't tell where TeXexec is located in there.

Regards,
Gary

Yes, I downloaded cont-tmf.zip, and unzipped into /usr/share/texmf,
overwriting everything.
