CORRECTION: [NTG-context] mswincontext and dvipdfmx bug
[please use the following tex file instead] ============fig-test============== %output=dvipdfmx \starttext test \blank \externalfigure[534][width=2cm] %\externalfigure[534-b][width=2cm] %was just over the 40K list limit \stoptext =================================== Dear gang, I need your help. If anyone is using a recent mswincontext.zip, could you check the dvipdfmx executable with the attached test, spec, and eps file. The problem here is that dvipdfmx freezes when processing fig-test.dvi. I'm trying to determine if this is due to a misconfiguration on my part or whether this is a mswincontext problem. I HOPE it's an mswincontext problem because I have no idea where the misconfiguration can be. Note the modified spec-dpx file. Just place it in the working directory (per ChoF's instructions). I appreciate anyone's help: this is critical because I have a late journal issue that depends on the aleph-dvipfmx cycle. Thnx in advance and all the Best Idris

===== In my platform Mac OS X, your fig-test.dvi had no problem. I've tested it with DVIPDFMX-20050201, 20050627, 20050815. All three versions had no problem.

Dear Profesor Hamid I attach the dvi and log files which were output from the latest mswincontext which I use. I normally output to pdf so I'm not sure if the dvi output should look like it does. It doesn't look correct to me but that just might be my setup. I consider myself still to be a Context learner. If you need any other info let me know.

Hi Keith,

I attach the dvi and log files which were output from the latest mswincontext which I use. I normally output to pdf so I'm not sure if the dvi output should look like it does. It doesn't look correct to me but that just might be my setup. I consider myself still to be a Context learner. If you need any other info let me know.
Could you do ============================ $> dvipdfmx fig-test ============================ and tell me what happens? Thnx 4 your help! Best Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523
Professor In my previous post the fig-test.tex file I used was as below output=dvipdfmx \input spec-dpx.tex \starttext test \blank \externalfigure[534-b][width=2cm] \stoptext I have now repeated the test with the file you posted which was: %output=dvipdfmx \input spec-dpx.tex \starttext test \blank \externalfigure[534-b][width=2cm] \stoptext The attached files are the output and log files. I did say I was a learner!!

I have now repeated the test with the file you posted which was:
%output=dvipdfmx \input spec-dpx.tex \starttext test \blank \externalfigure[534-b][width=2cm] ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This should be \externalfigure[534][width=2cm] Then run ============================ $> dvipdfmx fig-test ============================ on the dvi file. Does dvipdfmx freeze? Thanks again Idris
