Hi, I uploaded a new beta. This one has a prelude to a new implementation of texexec. I can run texexec --make --all should work as well as: texexec --make --all --engine=pdftex texexec --make --all --engine=aleph texexec --make --all --engine=xetex it assumes a new recent version of pdftex/mpost currently it's juts a call to ctxtools. I'd like to know if it works ok for miktex as well. I want to avoid ini/rme files. i also made a new cversion checker, for the moment use ctxtools --check it does some more testing and later I will add some cnf parsing.
