[I have the newest (beta) context, texexec, texutil and pdfetex/pdftex.] I have this minimal file called 'test.tex' % output=pdftex \starttext Hello! \stoptext I copy it to a another (sub)directory called 'tdir'. Then I run texexec test.tex - and get pdf output texexec tdir/test.tex - and get dvi output Also if I move the format file to 'tdir' [for some reason, testing, what ever] and go into 'tdir', and then run: texexec --format=context test.tex - and get pdf output (*) texexec --format=../context test.tex - and get dvi output (*) Using the same format file but now from default place .../web2c/. Why this behaviour? I have also tested with the '--pdf' switch but it doesn't make any difference (as expected since % output=pdftex should have the same effect). Regards, Hans Fredrik PS! An easy fix (I found out after half an hour) is to resign and add '\pdfoutput=1' in the file. But shouldn't '% output=pdftex' have the same effect (when running texexec)? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Fredrik Nordhaug | web: www.mi.uib.no/~hansfn Ph.D. student at | phone: (+47) 55 58 48 79 Department of Mathematics, | fax: (+47) 55 58 96 72 University of Bergen | e-mail: hanfn@mi.uib.no -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fall 2000: Visiting at the Department of Civil Engineering, Princeton University. --------------------------------------------------------------------------
