Hi!
I have problems in building format files using TeX or eTeX: With "texexec
--make --tex=tex en" I get the following error:
....
loading : Context Support Macros / PDF
) (d:\usr\local\texmf\tex\context\base\supp-pdf.tex
loading : Context Support Macros / PDF
systems : Why not use pdf(e)TeX binaries?
! Undefined control sequence.
l.87 \ifnum\pdftexversion
>13
Building the format file with "texexec --make --tex=pdftex en" works fine.
I'm using Miktex-1.20e with the latest release of Context
(http://www.pragma-ade.com/pragma-ade/context/cont-tmf.zip)
Thanks in advance for any hints to solve the problem.
Regards,
Behnam

I strongly suggest you to use pdfetex, since that way you got quite some
goodies for free

You may change this in supp-pdf.tex
\ifx\pdftexversion\undefined
\writestatus{\m!systems}{Why not use pdf(e)TeX binaries?}
\protect\expandafter\endinput
\fi
\ifnum\pdftexversion>13 % \else removed
...
\fi % one \fi removed !
I'll fix it in the next version. BTW, you can set the preferred tex binary
in texexec.ini.
