runaway argument context(mswintex)

runaway argument context(mswintex)

[Julian Haworth]

Hi

I have downloaded the minimal mswin distribution of context and set it up. I get a runaway argument once \tex\texmf-local/tex/context/base/spec-fdf.tex has been loaded, see below. Is this normal?

Previously I had been trying to set up the current version of MiKTeX to work with context, this since the end of November. I had it working before but it ran out of capacity when imposing an 11000 word document -- not very impressive. Trying to improve things just broke it. I used MiKTeX because WinEdt answered my needs, however if I can get the pragma-ade minimal tex distribution working correctly is it possible to integrate WinEdt. Thanks for your interest, please save me from Pagemaker 7.0.

looks like a messed up cont-opt.tex or whatever, there can be no \setupsystem 
inside a key=value; maybe some messed up texexec.pl file?
