[NTG-context] Re: New upload doesn't work on macOS 10.13.6

[Gavin via ntg-context <ntg-context@ntg.nl>]

Hi Ralf

I keep TeX Live on my Mac. It’s a great fall-back when I have new version surprises with ConTeXt.

   tug.org/mactex/

TeX Live has a friendly installer. Updates are easy with TeX Live Utility. TeX Live has a version of ConTeXt from last May, and it’s quite a good version, in my opinion. (ConTeXt  ver: 2023.05.05 18:36 LMTX  fmt: 2023.12.18)

If you need any LaTeX stuff for some reason, it’s all there in TeX Live.

Gavin
