Dear All
I am experiencing a strange problem with the chart module using
context on ubuntu.
this module allows for the creating of nice flow charts!
however
when creating the flow chart from the source code with
texexec --pdf chart.tex
the resultiong pdf file sometimes shows information that is not in the tex file
but was in a previous version of it, i.e. some kind of a wierd memoery
effect is present
I am wondering, where does context keep its cache.
In order to debug this problem I installed context on another ubuntu box and
when freshly installed , i.e. for the first call of texexec the result
was fine. however
any subsequent call will again create unpredictable effects.
I have written some documentation using context and the chart module
and today is may last day in the project and I need to hand this over!
regards
Moritz

Yes, this sometimes happens. Context stores is transitional data
in \jobname.tuo for 'texexec' (\jobname.tuc for 'context') and
if you use the chart module, I know for a fact that at least the .tuo
tends to lag behind a bit.
The solution is to run 'texexec' (or 'context', but I suspect the
problem is with 'texexec' ) once more without doing any edits.
Best wishes,
Taco

Did you also delete all the temporary metapost files? Try with
ctxtools --purge --all
You can also try to forcably remove all the temp files at the end of the
run by
texexec --purge filename
> There is a strange memory effect!!!
Does forcing a final run help
texexec --final filename
