Unfortunately for me The download for windows of either version requires an internet connection and in Windows I am still fighting that problem. Texlive comes on a downloadable dvd image. That dvd is OS agnostic. I have loaded it on Win XP, Win 7 and Slackware linux. If there were a way to download minimals or the full context suite for windows as an iso image I would be home free. But fate is not so kind to me. Just fyi TeXlive when installed on Windows also loads a program submenu, and one of the entries there is texworks. So I can pretty much insulate my users from dreaded (by some) command line. That was the reason for my original question. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
