I tried downloading context.zip and installing it on my standard /usr/share/texmf tree. No joy. I get messages telling me to use the texmfstart command instead. This is as I recall a Windows thingie. So next I tried linux binaries only. Still no joy. Let me start all over. Assuming a working TeX installation (either tetex or texlive 2005) what incantation must I perform to upgrade to the latest stable Context and what specific zip file should I use? It appears that Context is set up primarily for Windows but I use Slackware Linux 10.2. -- John Culleton Books with answers to marketing and publishing questions: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf Book coaches, consultants and packagers: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf
