Dear musketeers, 1. I just noted that texexec.ini for mswincontext.zip defaults to tetex, not fptex. Is that intentional? 2. Can I configure texexec.ini so that texexec --make generates the aleph format in addition to the pdfetex formats? (Of course this assume we can solve the search-paths-for-formats problem.) Thought: Knowing absolutely nothing about texexec's internals, I was thinking that one possible solution to the aleph format subdirectory problem is make another executable, say TeXExecutable2 and then set TeXExecutable2 to aleph A related possiblility is renaming the formats, say: co-al-en.fmt for aleph co-tx-en.fmt for tex etc. Just a stab in the dark from someone who know virtually nothing; never know when you might hit something...
