I used TeXLive 2002 for the TeX install. Then I tried the same test file and got similar messages. I am now back to my original partition. I will wipe out TeX and reinstall TeXLive, then update to the latest Context distro. Two questions: Do I also need to install the separate Metafun zip file or is this included in the Context zip? Do I unzip the distro in /usr/TeX/texmf or further down the tree? --=20 John Culleton
