I wanted to give my TeX a fresh start, deleted the complete tetex folder and downloaded Hans' "macosxtex.zip".

Could someone please share his/her experience what to do now - in order to get the files in this zip work?

This sounds to me as if you want to shoot yourself in your feet but you don't know how to handle the gun .-)

Why don't you use Gerben's iInstaller with a pretty uptodate ConTeXt? (Never used it, only reading about it).

in principle the mac tree should work, when you run from a console; (that way i can comfortably use it from within scite) ; however, gerbens installation is normally quite up to date and integrates well in the texshop etc environments, so maybe you shopuld try tat first (I suppose one can install context-only) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
