As I said, I work with the standalone distri?
And I thought, the binaries are from fptex, right?
And if both texexec.ini's are removed:
texexec complains:
warning: texexec.ini not found, try 'texexec --verbose'
(the same with texexec --verbose)

texexec (without parameters)
compiles cscite.bat! Why?

This works!
But next Problem:
pdfetex can not find pk-fonts.
I have written:
PKFONTS = .;$TEXMF/fonts/pk//
in 'texmf.cnf'
font-file lies in
texmf-project/fonts/pk/ricoh/local/msl/msl50.pk
what else can I do?

strange indeed
can you run "texmfstart texexec" and see what happens then

ok, that's another problem (once solved you know a bit about tex and fonts) ... it looks like there is a problem with locating fonts ... what
font is that: msl50 ?
(the minimal distribution does not have such a font)

ok! I have modified the batch-files.
Next Problems:
texexec.ini is not found in 'context\config'
I copyed it in 'scripts\context\perl'
now it is found.
'texexec --verbose' tries to compile all the files in the aktuel
path.
but
'texmfstart texexec.pl --verbose' works ok.
same with
'texexec --make --all' doesn't work
but
'texmfstart texexec.pl --make --all' works!
formatfiles will generatet under '.\pdfetex' relativ to the aktual
path.

The same problems with cscite.bat.
As I said, I can change these two batch-files. But I am not shure if
my problems derive from this.

Should I move this subtree one level higher or delete it?

hm, not on my machine; you can try:
@echo off
usr\local\context\cscite.bat

Hallo!
Some months ago I have downloaded 'mswincontext.zip'.
There were a lot of Problems and I tried to solve them.
I could finally compile some files. But then I get new problems and
so I decided to start over and ask the list for help.
First Problem (may be the mother of all the others):
The Batch-Files 'cdemo.bat' and 'cscite.bat' are using for example
"%~s1" for the first placeholder on the commandline.
My Windowssystem (ME) doesn't understand this.
Are there other Batch-Files that work on older commandoprozessors to
download?
A second question:
There exists an directory 'usr\local\context\tex\texmf\texmf' which
contains fontinformation to one single fontfamily 'cb'.
Is this ok: 'texmf' under 'texmf'? And why ist this there?
