Dear List users,

I just heard about ConTeXt on the lingtex list.
I am a rather old and experienced Latex user, and, although rather
unsatisfied, I have tons of latex sources for constant reuse.
My first questions are
Is there any hope that I can painlessly reuse my Latex code in Context?
Is there any hope that I can ever use Latex styles (some more complicated
macro defs) in Context?

Thanks for help.

Viktor
