Hi,
Thanks for the link to the faq. I did what was said there:
1. I installed the lm fonts
2. I emended the miktex.ini file according to the specifications
The texexec -- make en nl still fails (see end of log)
My test file, the one I am working on, apparently processes normally,
but the output is dvi rather than pdf. References are not processed.
Something is still wrong.
Could anyone help me out? Help greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Robert

Hi,
I have been trying to get Context working properly for the last 4 hours
or so. I don't know what to do.
I found out that the commands
\defaultlanguage \dogetupsometextprefix
occur in a file called lang-lab.tex.
But I don't know what to do with this knowledge.
I am ahead a deadline for a publication. Help is greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Robert

I'm baffled by this message as well, and the only thing I can come up
with is to try renaming or deleting this file:

If that doesn't help, please mail me the *full* log of the cont-en run.
Good luck, Taco

Hi everybody,
Taco solved the problem in a private exchange of emails this evening by
suggesting, based on the log file I sent him, that the ushyphmax file in
my system could be in the wrong format. It was wrong indeed.
It should contain the string \pattern{ ... patterns ... }.
Thanks a lot, Taco, I am much indebted to you.
Kind regards,
Robert

It just happened to be in my Miktex system. It was wrong in the sense that it was outdated, but may be still working for Latex. My earlier version of Context worked normally with it. The new version almost did.
This is one of the reasons I tend to postpone updates.

no, it's my own latest greatest [i now process the 800+ page highly
interactive maps biblio (xml coded) in 90 sec compared to 147 sec begin oct
2001, and the xml heavy mmlprimer in 23 sec compared to 35] interestingly
linux is 10% slower (maybe due to some funny zomby idle process that i
cannot kill).
if only calling mp was faster ... (rather slow under win2k)

Can you tell me what idle process? (There may be many reasons...)

kapm-idled :
reports 50 % processor time when idle, eats up 10 % runtime when not
docked, but not when docked.

Hi, Taco was faster than me and absolutelly correct. The power saving is not
the only reason, each Un*x has a process with the lowest possible priority
which runs when there is nothing to do. Some kind of that behaviour occurs in
all OSs. One possibility is to execute HLT, another is an infinite loop. HLT is
prefered as it saves energy and makes CPU cooler.

Sorry for the off-topicality but a propos the idle time activity... I keep
my 3 CPU's nicely overheated running tasks for

That's interesting! When I run linux undocked i'll do another test and see
if there's a priority bug involved.
I just ran a couple of tests with docked linux and the maps test file runs
in some 3 seconds less that windows, partly because mpost runs smoother
from within tex under linux [i'm still hoping that fabrice will make this
nice mpost dll that stays in mem]

This is ok. Just power saving (when needed), really does nothing, does
not eat any cpu time. Can be disabled by compiling a kernel without
apm support (kapm: kernel apm).
