Hi,
I posted a new version of context. There are a few new things, like pattern snow
being part of the zip, and runtime graphic conversions (more about that when i
have more time); the next (main) release will probably have a new texexec (ruby
version, smoother, faster, more clever, no ini file etc)
btw, i need a miktex user who wants to test the ruby texexec version
it's upto taco to write the usual announcement -)
Hans

Interesting... It builds the formats (not engine aware in terms of where it puts the .fmt files--at least it uses different switches compared to what I'm used to), but (old)texexec did that too. What's interesting is that it doesn't insist on rebuilding the format on a normal (--pdf) run. (And it's fast: does it buffer the terminal output?) in summary: texexec --make --all Builds the formats. texexec --pdf myfile fails to find the format, builds it, runs the file texmfstart newtexexec --make --all Builds the formats. texmfstart newtexexec --pdf myfile finds the format correctly, runs the file quickly. texmfstart newtexexec --make --xtx --engine en Builds a XeTeX format, but leaves it in the web2c directory texexec --make --xtx --engine en Builds a XeTeX format, and correctly puts it in web2c/xetex hmm. Honestly, I personally didn't have any complaints with the operation of the previous version of texexec. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
