If I recall correctly from my time with TeXLive, dvi is the 'native' format of ConTeXt, which was less than handy with Windows.... i.e. you normally get dvi by *not* telling ConTeXt to make ps/pdf. (See beginner manual p. 6, second paragraph.) However, the systems have changed over the last couple of years and for example I now run the stand-alone WinConText that pdfs everything, whether I want it or not (I do, so it doesn't bother me), so this is not so self-evident any more. From http://wiki.contextgarden.net/First_Document I understand that most ConTeXt configurations now produce pdfs by default. On Linux you might be able to find the place where your \setupoutput[pdf] or texexec --pdf sits, if it's in a configuration file. On the other hand, I dug a bit into my stand-alone Windows distribution and didn't get any smarter by that. Now I know why my pdf opens automatically into Acrobat, but not how *not* to produce pdf (or ps). That was a very good question. :-) Mari (...three years with ConTeXt and I sound like a dinosaur...)
