Dear All

I am experiencing a strange problem with the chart module using context on ubuntu. this module allows for the creating of nice flow charts! however when creating the  flow chart from the source code with texexec --pdf  chart.tex the resultiong pdf file sometimes shows information that is not in the tex file but was in a previous version of it, i.e. some kind of a wierd memoery effect is present I am wondering, where does context keep its cache. In order to debug this problem I installed context  on another ubuntu box and when freshly installed , i.e. for the first call of texexec the result was fine. however any subsequent call will again create unpredictable effects. I have written some  documentation using context and the chart module and today is may last day in the project and I need to hand this over!

Yes, this sometimes happens. Context stores is transitional data in \jobname.tuo for 'texexec' (\jobname.tuc for 'context') and if you use the chart module, I know for a fact that at least the .tuo tends to lag behind a bit.

The solution is to run 'texexec' (or 'context', but I suspect the problem is with 'texexec' ) once more without doing any edits.

Even when deleting all the many files that context creates,

Did you also delete all the temporary metapost files? Try with ctxtools --purge --all You can also try to forcably remove all the temp files at the end of the run by texexec --purge filename

There is a strange memory effect!!!

Does forcing a final run help texexec --final filename Aditya
