Installation for Miktex

[David Arnold <darnold@northcoast.com>]

Hans et all,

The installation notes, "How to Install Context," now mention adding a
reference to context.map to the pdftex.cfg file that resides somewhere on
your system. Here's mine (Latest version of Miktex):

% Thomas Esser, 1998, 1999, public domain.
output_format 1
compress_level
9
decimal_digits 3
page_width 210mm
page_height 297mm
horigin 1in
vorigin
1in
% pdftex.map is set up by texmf/dvips/config/updmap
map pdftex.map
map
+test.map

How do I add the reference to context.map, like this:

map context.map

I had huge difficulties initializing changes in the texexec.rme to
texexec.ini file this time around. Finally, after about an hour, changing

% == paths ==
%
% TeXFormatPath   texmf/...               fmt files
%
ConTeXtPath     texmf/tex/context/base  sources
% SetupPath
texmf/tex/base/user     cont-sys/usr file
% TeXScriptsPath
texmf/context/perltk    scripts

to

% == paths ==
%
set TeXFormatPath   to   f:/localtexmf/miktex/fmt
set
ConTeXtPath     to   f:/texmf/tex/context/base
set SetupPath       to
f:/texmf/tex/base/user
set TeXScriptsPath  to   f:/texmf/context/perltk

worked when I entered texexec --verbose at the DOS prompt. I recommend some
changes here or some comments offering more instructions.

Even then, texexec --make had a problem finding my cont-usr.tex file, so I
changed to

set SetupPath       to   f:/texmf/tex/context/config

and I could finally make a format.
