All,
I need some help with an annoying feature that has cropped up after an
update of Miktex and Context.
D:\NSFGRANT\MultiCalc\VecMat>texexec --version
TeXExec 3.2 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2003
total run time : 0 seconds
F:\PuTTY>
Note how the drive letter has changed. This is not just a minor annoyance,
because if I have a "make" file such as make.bat defined by
texexec --pdf --mode=screen --suffix="-s" Context-VecMat
texexec --pdf --mode=letter --suffix="-p" Context-VecMat
texexec --pdf --mode=screen --suffix="-s" Context-VecMat
texexec --pdf --mode=letter --suffix="-p" Context-VecMat
After the first run, the process stops because it can no longer find
Context-VecMat on the f: partition.
Help!

I don't want to knock MikTeX, but recently, I've had a whole lot less
trouble buy running fpTeX. The download is a lot slower though.

I never had this problem. Are you using MiKTeX's texexec, or
the standalone package from www.pragma-ade.com?

can you fetch version 3.3 from the site so that we are in sync?
there only time when context (when needed) does a change dir (and back) is
when it generates formats so ...
is there something funny in your path?

Hans,
I've updated to the latest beta but my problem with texexec has not changed.
C:\>texexec --version
TeXExec 3.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2003
total run time : 1 seconds
F:\>
It is still changing the partition.
My path statement again:
F:\>path
PATH=F:\NLIB;F:\MIKTEX\MIKTEX\BIN;C:\GS\GS7.04\BIN;C:\GS\GS7.04\LIB;F:\MIKTE
X\CO
NTEXT\PERLTK;C:\PERL\BIN;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\YANDY\Y
ANDY
TEX\;E:\MATLAB6P1\BIN\WIN32;C:\EMACS\BIN;;C:\GHOSTGUM\GSVIEW\;;F:\MSYS\1.0\M
INGW
\BIN;F:\IMAGINE\BIN;;E:\J2SDK1.4.0_02\BIN;E:\MATLAB6P5\BIN\WIN32;F:\SSHSEC~1
One further interesting note is this: If I change to the C: drive with C:,
then run texexec --make --alone, the format files are made on the F
partition, then when finished, my prompt indicates I am on the F partition.
The I have to move the format files manually from F:\ to the proper place
in localtexmf.
