help needed with special macro

help needed with special macro

[Peter Münster]

Hello,
could someone help me please with the following little macro?
Every line in the table should be different, but all are as the last one.
I've tried a lot with commands like \expanded{} or \expandafter etc, but
without results...
Perhaps the only solution is a temporary file?

\newcount\MyVersion
\def\MyMacro#1{%
  \getgparameters[XXX][#1]
  \global\advance\MyVersion by 1
  \bTR\bTD \the\MyVersion \eTD \bTD \XXXDate \eTD\eTR
}
\starttext
\bTABLE
\bTR \bTD Version \eTD \bTD Date \eTD \eTR
\MyMacro{Date=1.2.2005}
\MyMacro{Date=3.4.2005}
\MyMacro{Date=5.6.2005}
\eTABLE
\stoptext

TIA for any hint!
Cheers, Peter

table data is collected and processed four times so you need to freeze the content

This one of the possibilities, that I've tried, but I get this error:
ERROR: Use of \dododecrement doesn't match its definition.

Of course:

\newcount\MyVersion
\def\MyMacro#1{%
  \getgparameters[XXX][#1]
  \global\advance\MyVersion by 1
  \expanded{\bTR\bTD \the\MyVersion \eTD \bTD \XXXDate \eTD\eTR}
}
\starttext
\bTABLE
\bTR \bTD Version \eTD \bTD Date \eTD \eTR
\MyMacro{Date=1.2.2005}
\MyMacro{Date=3.4.2005}
\MyMacro{Date=5.6.2005}
\eTABLE
\stoptext

looking for a grammar checker in linux/tex/context - or alternative

[Ciro A. Soto]

Some time ago I asked for a speller in linux.
I found that aspell does a good job. Now I want
one step up: a grammar checker. Since there is 
no such thing in linux (AFAIK), then
my question is:
Is there any
way to ask  context to output the file in a format
importable by MS Office? (sorry, I don't like this
solution, but if you have one within the realm of
linux/gnu licenses, let me know). May be plain 'text'
format, or rtf?  So I can use the grammar in MS.

I listen to any other idea...
thank you

Ciro

\def\MyMacro#1{%
   \getgparameters[XXX][#1]
   \global\advance\MyVersion by 1
   \bTR \bTR\expanded{\bTD \the\MyVersion \eTD} \expanded{\bTD \XXXDate \eTD}\eTR
}

Thank you very much, Hans!
In fact, I should have tried just a bit more: I tried \expanded{\bTR ... \eTR}
and \bTD \expanded{...} \eTD, but not that one...

Thank you also for contrastcolor=green !
Cheers, Peter
