Hello,

I have pretty recent installations of TeXLive 2010 (for Cygwin) and ConTeXt Minimals (for Windows). In both installations, running TeXexec reports it is ConTeXt MkII ... but running ConTeXt directly reports itself as MkIV.

I would like to synchronize TeXexec and MkIV ... as MkIV ... how is this done -- for each installation?

The "old" ConTeXt (MkII) is accessed through the texexec command. The "new" ConTeXt (MkIV) is accessed through the context command. If you want to use MkIV, simply use the context command in every case, and forget the texexec command (unless you do mean MkII).

if a file is really mkii, you can put % engine=pdftex at the top of the file and the context script will understand that ad run texexec ... handy if you run context from within an editor and only want one command ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

A bit off topic: is there still a plan to reimplement texexec in Lua and get rid of dependancy on Ruby?

in principle the context script can replace the texexec one apart from index sorting; I have a lua variant of that somewhere but untested Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

If you are willing to post it, I'm willing to test it.

ok, later (no time now); ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

I think that you are confused by the terminology.

I was, but you have resolved that. Your answer was, as you perfectly well know, completely correct. Thank you (all of you!) for your help in getting me straightened out. I'm (rather obviously) a newcomer to the ConTeXt world and am enjoying the discovery. Thanks again to one and all. Tom.
