Ok, I followed the above. Now I have two trees, c:\TeXLive and c:\ConTeXt
Issues:
1. I ``initialized'' the \ConTeXt tree and ran
texexec --make
but no aleph format, so a batch file is called:
cd C:\ConTeXt\texmf-mswin\web2c
aleph --ini *plain \dump
texexec --make en -tex=aleph
aleph --ini *cont-en
but...
C:\ConTeXt\texmf-mswin\web2c>aleph --ini *plain \dump
! aleph.pool doesn't match; otangle me again (or fix the path).
How do I get aleph working?
2. How do I get my OS to recognize/prioritize the C:\ConTeXt tree (when I call
texexec from my editor it still calls from c:\TeXLive)? Do I have to uninstall
ConTeXt from my c:\TeXLive path? What is the cleanest way to do that?
3. I presume that
\ConTeXt\texmf-local\web2c\texmf.cnf
is the one
texexec --make
uses. Have you already optimized/tested
\ConTeXt\texmf-local\web2c\texmf.cnf
for aleph (there were a few issues as you may recall...)?

1. ok, how do I get
C:\ConTeXt\texmf-mswin\bin
to secondarily search C:\TeXLive, where manfnt is located?
2. Also, I need both pdfetex and aleph; how do I get both, since both
texexec --make en -tex=aleph
and
texexec --make en -tex=pdfetex
produce the same file, cont-en.fmt?

I must be making this way too complicated, anyway...
I placed C:\ConTeXt\texmf-mswin\bin ahead of TeXLive in my NT PATH (Windows
2000) so those binaries get called first. I tried to make the aleph format:
=======================================================
C:\ConTeXt\texmf-mswin\web2c>aleph --ini *plain \dump
This is Alephk, Version 3.141592-1.15-2.1-0.0-rc4 (Web2c 7.5.3) (INIALEPH)
%&-line parsing enabled.
Copyright (c) 2002--2004 the Aleph task force
entering extended mode
(c:/ConTeXt/texmf/tex/plain/base/plain.tex Preloading the plain format: codes,
registers, parameters, fonts, more fonts,
! Font \preloaded=manfnt not loadable: Metric (TFM/OFM) file not found.
<to be read again>
\par
l.468
?
=======================================================
It works fine in TeXLive.
Another problem: how can I have both the aleph and the pdfetex formats?
texexec --make en -tex=aleph
overides the default cont-en.fmt made by
texexec --make
Question: how can I configure mktexlsr so that it updates both C:\ConTeXt as
well as C:\TeXLive?

Ok, I see that lmr comes with the mswincontext distribution, so cont-lmr will
be put up if/when improvements are made?

Dear syndicate,
While I have not closely kept up with all developments it seems that
installation/upgrade procedures have been improved. I also went through a lot
of pain the last time I upgraded so I ask:
Given that:
1. I have not updated my context since Aug. of last year;
2. my fpTeX is from last July.
What is the wisest and most efficient way to upgrade my ConTeXt distribution
today?
Should I replace fpTeX (including Aleph) with the ConTeXt/TeX distribution
from the website?
Are there any Aleph-related issues?
Any tips will be appreciated
Thanks

just download the windows zip file from our website and install that one in a
separate tree, e.g. under
c:\context
then, you can initialize that tree with
c:\context\setuptex c:\context
and voila ...
when needed, unzip the latest cont-tfm (beta) and cont-lmr archives in
texmf-local and remake formats
