ppchtex german language compiling problems

ppchtex german language compiling problems

[Martin Scholz]

Hi there,

I'm new to ConTeXt and found out how nice it is to construct coverpages. 
So it would be nice to have an opportunity to include the whole 
procedure into an LaTeXe environment. As far as I already read up to now 
there is now possibility. But today I think I found a bug in the german 
version of ppchtex. I used the following little script to set an example 
formula.
The used code is the following:

\verwendemodule[pictex,chemie]


\starttext

\stellechemieein[breite=passend,oben=1500,unten=3500]
\startchemie
\chemie[ONE,Z0,DB1,SB3,SB7,Z3,Z7,MOV1,Z0,SB1,SB3,Z3,MOV1,Z0,DB1,SB3,Z3,MO
V1,Z0,SB3,SB7,Z3,Z7][C,H,H,C,H,C,H,C,H,H]
\textunter{1,3-Butadieen}
\stopchemie

\stoptext

with the following commands I got the same errormessages.

texexec --dvi --mainlanguage=de chemie.tex
texexec --ps --mainlanguage=de chemie.tex
texexec --pdf --mainlanguage=de chemie.tex
texexec --mainlanguage=de chemie.tex

The resulting errormessage is the following:

TeXExec | processing document 'chemie.tex'
TeXExec | no ctx file found
TeXExec | tex processing method: context
TeXExec | TeX run 1
TeXExec | writing option file chemie.top

Would be nice if somebody has an idea how to solve the problem or where 
something went wrong in the code.

Another question is how I could get ppchtex to work in a 
LaTeXe-environment. Would be nice if there also would be the possibility 
to load the german version.

Thanks to all for there help and have a happy new year everybody.

Martin

It's even better for the whole document.

You could try to write the ConTeXt code into a external file and
process this file on the fly with write18.

This is a ancient version, I tried your example with the last release
and it works for me.

\usepackage[pictex]{m-ch-de}

or

\usepackage[pstricks]{m-ch-de}
