But I have to say that is not an encouraging course of action. It's also possible to install a parallel context: i.e. if you have context in /opt/context/standalone-01122012 you can install a fresh context (with first-setup.sh , I mean) in /opt/context/standalone-20122012 copy here your files and check if they fail. -- luigi ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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 ___________________________________________________________________________________
