Hi, as there seemed to be interactions between ConTeXt that comes with TeXLive and the recent one I've installed, I finally deleted EVERYTHING and started anew. -> I installed TeXLive on a WinXP - without the ConTeXt option. -> I copied the saved texec.exe in TeXLive's /bin folder -> I installed bin-aleph-1.15--2.2--RC2-win32.zip from CTAN -> I executed the following comands: mktexlsr fmtutil --all mktexlsr texexec --make --all --alone --tex=aleph mktexlsr texexec alephtest1.tex --tex=aleph --output=dpx But again it failed and ended in "*". There ought to be people out there who got Aleph (+ConTeXt) working. How did you do that? Could someone please have a look and tell what is wrong?

Weird: There is almost certainly something wrong in your format file.. Did you install the ConTeXt that came with fpTeX? If so, get rid of it (minus texexec.exe), reinstall the latest version, and try again.
