(not related to the problem but ...)

projects normally only have references to products/components/environments, so 
you example should be:

\startproduct TEST

\startfrontmatter
\component PARTS/ONE.tex
\component PARTS/TWO.tex
\stopfrontmatter

\stopproduct

no, the version only chnages when the format of the tui file changes and is used 
to catch

- a version mismatch with texutil (needs updating)
- updates in the formats (needs one extra run one time)

it has worked ok for many years on our linux and windows boxes, and quoting in 
perl is mostly a problem for windows (perl being more unix oriented) and all 
quoting magic in texexec is for windows

Lines like these make my eyebrows go up though it might not be th eproblem
at hand. What if $JobName contains whitespace?

This stuff must run on Win and Unix so shall escapes and quoting is not
the same on both sides. From the perlfunc man page:

exec LIST
The exec() function executes a system command AND NEVER RETURNS. Use the
system() function if you want it to return.

If there is more than one argument in LIST, or if LIST is an array with
more than one value, calls execvp(3) with the arguments in LIST. If there
is only one scalar argument, the argument is checked for shell
metacharacters. If there are any, the entire argument is passed to /bin/sh
-c for parsing. If there are none, the argument is split into words and
passed directly to execvp(), which is more efficient. Note: exec() (and
system(0) do not flush your output buffer, so you may need to set $| to
avoid lost output.

I am not at my system right now, but executing stuff is a bit tricky to
get the same on Win and Unix. And given that the argument contains
multiple arguments for texutil, I suspect it is the one-argument version
of system() (which does shell interpretation) that is eventually used.
Better circumvent this and use the LIST version which is almost guaranteed
to be the same on both OS's.

I mistrust these two lines. Essentially, these are system calls
without error checking. Lots of stuff can go wrong here.

texexec calls texutil which converts a tui file into a tuo file (in the process 
it sorts indexes and such); when a job is aborted (or has errors) no tuo file is 
generated (saves an additional later run after a fix); copied from texexec:

use File::Compare;

sub RunTeXutil {
     my $StopRunning;
     my $JobName = shift;
     unlink "$JobName.tup";
     rename "$JobName.tuo", "$JobName.tup";
     print "  sorting and checking : running texutil\n";
     my $TcXSwitch = '';
     if ( $TcXPath ne '' ) { $TcXSwitch = "--tcxpath=$TcXPath" }
     RunPerlScript( $TeXUtil, "--ref --ij --high $TcXPath $JobName" );

     if ( -e "$JobName.tuo" ) {
         CheckPositions($JobName);
         $StopRunning = !compare( "$JobName.tup", "$JobName.tuo" );
     } else {
         $StopRunning = 1;
     }    # otherwise potential loop
     if ( !$StopRunning ) {
         print "\n utility file analysis : another run needed\n";
     }
     return $StopRunning;
}

maybe some file permissions problem?

- How do you check that they are the same? (cmp command?)
- How does texexec check if another run is needed?

Hans,

if you want me to test something tonight on Mac OS X, different versions
of TeX, I can. I'll first update to any latest ConTeXt beta if any.

ps. it's on my agenda to have a mini mac with decent keyboard on my desk

How many runs do you have under Mac OS X?
And what is your setup for Mac: Gerben's tex.ii2 plus your recent cont-tmf.zip?
