from an other adress, getting old ConTeXt Version

[jessica Holle]

Hi,

I write from an other e-mail adress, hope it works.
I want to install at home the same ConTeXt as at work, but there I've 
the version from 2005-08-31. Can I get the old version? Where can I find 
this?

Hope his will work and somebody knows something about this.

Nice weekend

- install a recent context
- remove the tex/context/base path
-zip your base path at work and unzip it in the hoem base path
- run texexec --make --all

and you're probably ok

(ok, maybe also /map/pdftex/context)

The files that belong to that release just happen to be on the 'net,
they are currently here:

   http://context.aanhet.net/context-2005-09-14.22/current/cont-tmf.zip
   http://context.aanhet.net/context-2005-09-14.22/current/cont-lmt.zip

That url is not in any way a permanent location, so if you still want
them even after Hans' e-mail with the recipe, fetch them soon.

Eventually, we hope to have all (most: as many as we can find) of the
official releases archived in a versioning system somewhere. More on
that later this week.
