start with XeTeX

start with XeTeX

[Henning Hraban Ramm]

Hello Adam et al!

I just tried to use XeTeX (installed with Gerben's i-Installer, after 
that updated ConTeXt) and followed your instructions in the wiki 
(http://contextgarden.net/XeTeX), but I get always this error:

This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.20a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.3) (INITEX)
  (/Volumes/Silmaril/tex/share/texmf.local/web2c/natural.tcx)
output format initialized to DVI
entering extended mode
! I can't find file `cont---xtx'.
<*> *cont---xtx

Must I change some config files? Or do you know what else is wrong?

Grüßlis vom Hraban!

Which version of texexec?
The very latest of texexec (5.2.3) and ConTeXt (2004.11.23) are really
the day-zero versions for XeConTeXt: nothing before those versions is
likely to work (at least as described).

I'll update the wiki to that effect!

there was a time that perls getops ignored unknown flags (--xtx in your case) 
but somehow they keep changing this;
