in this case, wrong or not fully correct. =C2=A0This is because I am now us= ing Context which comes is included in the TexLive distribution, selected w= ith Unix like operating systems. =C2=A0No bat files or other ancillary code= or invokations are necessary.

=C2=A0Texlive's Context program would probably not run directly on Micr= osoft Windows O.S.
hm, my experience is the opposite: = texlive context runs on Windows, but I don't use it because the standal= one also works under Windows.
(I use the texlive for all the rest, btw).

I believe that the documentation can be expanded to cover using a Context o= n Cygwin directly and not the Microsoft port which requires the usage of st= range Microsoft pathnames, with C:\ and \ seperators.

Using context on cygwin for cygwin may only have been done in TexLive for U= nix like systems, but I'd like to use and test on the bleeding edge MKI= V. =C2=A0But, that proves that it can be done. =C2=A0I just don't know = what was done.

In this case I think it's better to use the stand= alone directly on Windows.
