What methods do exist, to change the default engine for texexec (for example luatex instead of pdftex)? ================== % luatex

Hello Idris,

With "default" I mean, that this is the engine, that will be used if I don't specify any engine in the file or on the command line.

When I typeset for example the file \starttext Hi \stoptext

with the command "texexec file", I want luatex to be used. And with the command "texexec --pdftex file" I want pdftex to be used.

because eventually mkiv will provide new functionality adding the % lines makes sense; texexec will always default to pdftex because otherwise we break compatibility when used in scripts mtxrun --script context .... which wil become the luatex replacemenent for texexec for luatex Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
