To make the eplain macros coexist with Context requires commenting out one line in eplain.tex: %\def^^L{\par}%
What this line does I have no idea.
Now I am told that It converts end of page characters (^L) to \par statements, and the extra ^ has something to do with making the statement non-outer. The error when using eplain with Context involves a category code problem which I don't comprehend but accept as gospel from those who do. A patch has been suggested by Karl Berry and will be implemented in eplain.tex in due course.
hm, the ^^ just tells tex that it's a control character the definition indeed makes the command non-outer (simply because no \outer prefix is used) as well as makes sure that some text <formfeed> some text is treated as two paragraphs Hans
