I just used Taco's new script (which I find wonderful, thanks so much!), and this made me realize a problem: the latest version of ConTeXt should have updated texexec to version 4.4 -- and it did, sort of. When I checked, it still said "texexec : TeXExec 4.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2004." I then realized that the new versions of the scripts sit in texmf/scripts/context, while the old versions (that are still being called by the binary texexec) reside in texmf/context/perltk. For the time being, I just copied them over (one could also put softlinks in there, I suppose), but I wonder if this behavior can be modified -- I coulnd't find anything in texexec.rme. My system is tetex on Mac OS X. Anyone else have the same problems?
Welcome to the changes in tds and distributions. When you also update the binaries, you can use: textools --fixtexmftrees The scripts are loaded by so called stubs. If you want to play safe, use texmfstart instead: texmfstart texexec.pl ..... The indirect way permits me to adapt things to changes in the tree (unfortunately those changes are not always downward compatible, but in texmfstart i can at least try to hide this) (see texmfstart manual for more features) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
