Hi Hans, I only use aleph and pdfetex. I am concerned however, because aleph uses an older version of etex, and so there may be unintended consequences (& bad for me-<) Giuseppe is busy, but maybe he has some initial thoughts on this? Best Idris
===== Original Message From mailing list for ConTeXt users
===== Hi, Is anyone using tex i.e. not pdfetex/aleph/xetex? I'd likt to go etex only which in the end is needed anyway since we run out of token list registers (in etex more we're already past 255)

don't worry, the things that i use are available in aleph; also, the formerly broken register stuff in etex (year ago) does not apply to aleph which uses a different model (actually, if you use aleph, context already enters etex mode -)
Giuseppe is busy, but maybe he has some initial thoughts on this?
