Thanks for your prompt reply. I did
texexec --make en nl
and got reams of output. I moved the resulting format to the place where the
original cont-en.fmt existed. Then I did texhash just to make sure.
Then I ran some tests. The results were the same as the earlier results this
month.
I happen to have the perfect test case. I have an incomplete book that I last
ran through Context in April. I have both the source and resulting pdf. The
April result was hyphenated. The December results were not. The results were
identical before and after running texexec --make en nl etc.
Should I download Context from Pragma and reinstall from scratch? Or just find
an older version on a cdr somewhere? Other suggestions?
