format file, where?

format file, where?

[Johannes Hüsing]

Dear Contextuals,

I am about to install ConTeXt on another computer and downloaded 
cont-tmf.zip and cont-uti.zip from pragma-ade.com. Running texexec --make
failed though, as fmtutil didn't find cont-{en,de,nl,uk}.fmt. These files
don't seem to be in the tree which was generated after unpacking. So where
do I find those format files?

Thanks for hints

Johannes

Nowhere yet, 

either run "texexec --make --alone" or run "fmtutil --edit" and uncomment
the context lines [will probably be default in a next tetex version].

fmtutil: no info for format `cont---alone'

They were uncommented. As I gather from the fmtutil description,
fmtutil requests the existance of cont-*.ini somewhere, which I didn't
find in the path.

Another question that turned up: In one of my documents, some
included PNG-formatted graphics were not shown (grey rectangles
instead.) As this happens to St. Stephanus church in the beginners
manual as well, I presume a feature of acrobat reader?!

Greetings
