Is perl still required for a ConTeXt installation (say, under Windows)? I know texexec is now written in Ruby, but are there other programs in Stand-alone or the Minimals that require perl? 2. I vaguely recall some mention of eventually replacing texexec with a Lua version. Is this actually being planned, and would that eliminate the external language dependencies of ConTeXt? --Joel ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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 : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
