Hello,
i am rather new to ConTeXt but i had to try it after i met Hans in a
little workshop about his system in Darmstadt this year. Thanks again
for the insights Hans :-) Now i found out that texexec is also a
pretty nice tool for combining single pdf files into one. So i tried:
texexec --pdfcombine --combination=1*1 --result=felix.pdf *.pdf
to combine all pdfs in the wd to felix.pdf. That's working fine
besides the fact that a footnote is added to each page containing the
file name and the date. That's maybe pretty handy sometimes but not
for me at the moment. I checked the texexec manpages and the manual
but i did not find the right command/switch to do it. May be i'm just
missing some rooky stuff. Could someone help me out here?
BTW: I'm using the latest TeXlive installation on RedHat.
Best regards
Martin
P.S.: I know that i could change the temporary texexec.tex by hand
and rerun that file. But that's a bit to clumsy for such a
sophisticated system, isn't it?

as an alternative use exampler.rb + combine.pdf and you have more control
