Of course I understand, I'd solve it the same way... But, I'd suggest to print some warning, if some functionality is moved or removed. E.g. if I try texmfstart texutil.rb --figures it also doesn't work but I'm informed what has happened.. ;-) Thanks, Richard _____ From: Hans Hagen [mailto:pragma@wxs.nl] To: mailing list for ConTeXt users [mailto:ntg-context@ntg.nl] Sent: Fri, 09 Jun 2006 12:50:45 +0200 Subject: Re: [NTG-context] texmfstart texutil Richard Gabriel wrote:

Yes, but is so much more verbose. While previously a neat, short summary of the currently installed formats was printed. Just what I wanted. met vriendelijke groet Hans van der Meer

It is not "texmfstart texexec --purge" because I tried that too. On the other hand, replacing "texexec --silent --pdf --autopdf file.tex" by the same preceded with "texmfstart" does work as expected.
What happened? texutil will go away (i.e. be a wrapper only); the functionality has been moved to texexec.rb, ctxtools.rb, pdftools.rb, rlxtools.rb etc
it's now: ctxtools --purge ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

There is a whole bunch of shell stubs in the distribution, in scripts/context/stubs/unix but currently you always have to redo the "chmod +x" after each update because the execution permission bit is not kept in the zip, so it gets trashed during the unzip operation.

Copying is imho not necessary. As long as the execution bits are set any file can be made to execute by a shell. What to do is determined by the shebang line. I am working in MacOSX which is UNIX under the hood and "texmfstart.rb" is excuted without the need for copying. Hans van der Meer
