I compile a Context file using an F key in my Gvim session. I I waste a lot of time watching messages scroll past in my Gvim window. What I am looking for is a command line switch or a combination of command line switches that will suppress ALL messages except for: 1. error messages that cause the compile to halt. 2. The message(s) that tells me that compilation is completed. If necessary I can live without this message. With most programs one can divert all ordinary messages to /dev/null but fatal error messages still return to the console or the console-equivalent (the 2> messages in Linux-speak.). Can this be done? Is there a way to modify texexec.rb to do this? -- John Culleton Able Indexing and Typesetting Precision typesetting (tm) at reasonable cost.
