I was concerned that I may have over time messed with my
system too much. So I reloaded the the 2002 version of the
TeXLive CDROM. Things worked more or less. Then I was concerned
that I should upgrade to the latest Context. So I downloaded
cont-en.zip from the site and unzipped it in my /usr/TeX directory.
This is a Linux system. Now if I sign on as an ordinary user
when I run texexec I get a "file access denied" message. NO
clue as to which file is denying access.
And when I run texexec as root from a command line, then I get
