Hans,
I'm stymied! No pun intended:-)
I ran into problems with your source code for the pdftex manual from your
site. This prompted me to visit the Miktex site and upgrade pdftex.
I upgraded pdftex and followed directions for refreshing format files.
I downloaded latest version (not beta) of Context from your site (the usual
one I download every time). I then unzipped the distribution in the normal
manner and built the format files.
If I
texexec --pdf junk2
with
\starttext
Now is the time.!
\stoptext
all is well, the first few lines reporting:
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-14e-released-20000217 (MiKTeX 1.20e
(Snapshot build 187)) (preloaded format=cont-en 2000.5.29) 29 MAY 2000 12:56
**&f:/localtexmf/miktex/fmt/cont-en junk2
(junk2.tex{pdftex.cfg}
ConTeXt ver: 2000.5.29 fmt: 2000.5.29 int: english mes: english
Note the version of pdfTeX, precisely the one I downloaded and installed.
However, if I work with the file pdftex-t.tex,
texexec pdftex-t
I am rewarded with
F:\ConTeXt>texexec pdftex-t
TeXExec 2.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2000

format : f:/localtexmf/miktex/fmt/cont-en

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159-14d (Web2C 7.3.1)
(Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)
run time : 10 seconds
F:\ConTeXt>
Note the version of pdfTeX! What's up with this? Have you seen this before
and can you help?

It looks like you have several versions around. Maybe you path is messed
up. Try to locate the old pdftex.exe and delete it.

Hans,
Correct! At one time I downloaded one of the pdftex binaries from your site
into f:\Context. The directory f:\Context is not on my path, but
pdftex-t.tex is in that directory and guess what directory I compiled from
in DOS?
Yep. Good call.
I deleted the pdftex.exe in c:\Context and now I am getting good results.
Thanks.
