But, I would like to make it easer and clearer for Cygwin users who do want to experiement with the latest versions. eh .. i bet tat most users use the latest context but you're probably right that not that many users are on cygwin (if u need unix alongside windows i use a vm) as there are native windows binaries (makes me wonder if these can be run inside cygwin) > I don't know if installing for a native linux version is easier or more straightforward or not installing on linux or osx or windows is equally straightforward (same process once you donloaded the installation files); updating is even less work Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl ----------------------------------------------------------------- ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
