[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 560 bytes --]

Hello Hans and others,

I've got the following problem...
I used to use such a command to compile my documents:

texexec --format=cont-cz --mode=print file.tex

After upgrade to latest ConTeXt (2006-05-17), I got a warning "Use 'texmfstart texexec' instead!".
So I've changed my batch to call:

texmfstart texexec --format=cont-cz --mode=print file.tex

But it seems the --format switch is not processed correctly because the cont-en format is always used. On the other hand, the mode is passed correctly.
Where's the problem? 

Thanks,
Richard

maybe --interface=cz works

Thanks Hans, 

this way it works!
Anyway, I'd suggest to list this option in the command line help (texmfstart texexec --help). I find it one of the most important texexec options...
Another issue: 
'texexec --version' also lists versions of TeXUtil, pdfTeX and the particular ConTeXt formats.
'texmfstart texexec --version' shows only the version of texexec itself... :-(

I've attached a small Czech test file (utf-8 encoded).

Use:

   texmfstart texexec --check

Yes,

  texexec --format=cont-cz test.tex 

also works for me, but

texmfstart texexec --format=cont-cz test.tex

doesn't! In such a case, the format cont-en gets always used.


texmfstart texexec --interface=cz test.tex

works well and the format cont-cz is used.

Got TeXLive 2005 on Windows XP and ConTeXt 2006-05-17.
