i split ppchtex in mkii/mkiv (and included the fixes) so we can improve things eventually
can you check if it still runs ok (beta zip on website)

Unzipped cont-tmf.zip on top of my minimals installation and ran context on my current working documents: system : module chemic loaded (/usr/local/context.new/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/m-chemic.tex (/usr/local/context.new/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/m-chemic.mkiv system : module pictex loaded (/usr/local/context.new/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/m-pictex.tex (/usr/local/context.new/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/thrd-pic.tex warning : \dimen \linethickness is already defined (\relax it first) )) (/usr/local/context.new/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/ppchtex.mkiv ppchtex : using PiCTeX and MetaPost ))) It appears to work as before... (I will now look into your color suggestions.) Alan
