All, I still need a copy of runperl.exe if anyone has one. Meanwhile, I've got a repeatable weirdness I hope someone can explain. If I set these lines in my texexec.ini: % set TeXFormatPath to f:/localtexmf/miktex/fmt % ConTeXtPath texmf/tex/context/base sources % SetupPath texmf/tex/base/user cont-sys/usr file % TeXScriptsPath texmf/context/perltk scripts % TeXFontsPath texmf font files % % set MpFormatPath to f:/localtexmf/miktex/mem % % == the main shell setting == % % As shown below, one can define his/her own sections. We default to % the teTeX/fpTeX web2c based settings. %set TeXShell to tetex %set TeXShell to fptex set TeXShell to miktex %set TeXShell to private Then: f: cd \miktex\scripts\context\perl perl texexec.pl --make en nl The formats get created and can be found on f:\. If I cut them and paste them into f:\localtexmf\miktex\fmt, then the test file junk.tex will compile. %testfile: junk.tex \starttext \framed {Let�s see if it works.} \stoptext Now, if I make these changes to texexec.ini: set TeXFormatPath to f:/localtexmf/miktex/fmt % ConTeXtPath texmf/tex/context/base sources % SetupPath texmf/tex/base/user cont-sys/usr file % TeXScriptsPath texmf/context/perltk scripts % TeXFontsPath texmf font files % set MpFormatPath to f:/localtexmf/miktex/mem % % == the main shell setting == % % As shown below, one can define his/her own sections. We default to % the teTeX/fpTeX web2c based settings. %set TeXShell to tetex %set TeXShell to fptex set TeXShell to miktex %set TeXShell to private Then: f: cd \miktex\scripts\context\perl perl texexec.pl --make en nl In this case, the format files get deposited where they should go, namely in f:\localtexmf\miktex\fmt. However, when I now compile my test file junk.tex: F:\miktex\scripts\context\perl>perl texexec.pl junk TeXExec 5.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2004 executable : pdfetex format : f:/localtexmf/miktex/fmt/cont-en inputfile : junk output : standard interface : en current mode : none TeX run : 1 This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.10b-2.1 (MiKTeX 2.3) initexmf: don't know how to dump miktex cannot make f:/localtexmf/miktex.efmt I can't find the default format file! return code : 256 run time : 1 seconds total run time : 1 seconds How's that for weird? Can anyone tell me what's going on?

What happens when you run texexec --make --alone do you get *.fmt and *.mem files? these need to be present on or moved to the right location (watch out, pdfetex no longer has efmt as suffix) One way to figure out what files are present is to use textools --find cont-en.fmt this is a ruby script, so you need to have ruby installed i'm a bit puzzled why you can't get it working since you had it working some time ago; there have been no changes in texexec cum suis that influence that, so the main problem is probably in the tds change as well as the change in suffix (efmt -> fmt) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
