In all forms of TeX it is my custom to start with a brief main file and call the various components of the document into the input stream with \input statements. The termination of the document is in the main file with a \stoptext statement. This works well with pdftex documents and also with MKII documents. But it fails with MKIV documents. The Context program will read and use an inserted program but will not return to the main text stream in the file that did the inputting. It just displays an * and hangs. Are there new rules in MKIV about breaking up a document into separate files and inserting these in sequence via \input statements? -- John Culleton Create Book Covers with Scribus: http://www.booklocker.com/p/books/4055.html Typesetting and indexing http://wexfordpress.com book sales http://wexfordpress.net Free barcode: http://www.tux.org/~milgram/bookland/
