Ok.

> second, there's a problem in signaling the splitter, which demands a patch
Please excuse my ignorance: can I add these patches just to my *.ctx file or
do I have to edit the actual distributed file? If the latter is true: is it
(in the case of 'core-ntb') './tex/context/base/core-ntb.tex' or
'/base/core-ntb.tex' that need to be edited? How about 'page-flt'? Do I have
to edit './tex/context/base/page-flt.tex' or './base/page-flt.tex'? Do I
have to call 'texexec --make' afterwards?

Sorry for my novice-ness,

Joh
