bug in latest ConTeX
Dear gang,
There is a bug in the latest ConTeXt that affects aleph, particularly
\pardir TRT. Needless to say this is an absolute showstopper...
Try this:
===========================
\pardir TLT
test
\bye
===========================
$>aleph test
works fine, but
$>texexec --tex=aleph test
gives an error:
===========================
This is Aleph, Version 3.141592-1.15-2.1-0.0-rc4 (Web2c 7.5.3)
\write18 enabled.

Oops, I think I recognize this. This came about when Hans and I were trying to introduce some very basic imitations of Omega's bidi support, prompted by XeTeX's Unicode capabilities. Unfortunately, it rests on an eTeX check--not a problem with Omega, but with Aleph, it means we clobber the \pardir primitives! Oops, indeed. Sounds like supp-dir needs a no-Omega check, as well.
