I know that Context Minimals is more up to date than texlive, which is updated yearly. But texlive when installed on Windows adds a menu under "programs" that is very handy for beginners. I don't have an internet conection for my windows partition. (Some nonsense about a driver for my ethernet board.) So I ask the question: when a user downloads Context Minimals on a Windows partition what must they do to run the programs such as context and mtxrun? Go to a text console? I am writing a book about using Context for novels, so my question is not idle. About 90% of my audience will be using Windows. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
