Download Perl from http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/ 2. Download some stable version of ConTeXt from (or any full TeX distribution) 3. Install ActivePerl (using its wizard) 4. Install ConTeXt following precise instructions specified in 'minstall.pdf' (this short manual is probably in every ConTeXt distributions) > To set it clear: i'm not a linux or unix-user, i use windowx xp. Me to. Actually I use ONE ConTeXt distribution (one TeX in general distribution) under Linux and Windows. And many other NTG-members do so! There is NO obstacles to use ConTeXt under windows. The only obstacle is the very beginning of using TeX... Let me encourage You: ConTeXt allows to start TeXing smoothly. Regards, Pawe/l
