B) Is there an equivilent to the RCS package for latex. Basically it parses version control tags from CVS/RCS.

There are a couple of RCS packages for LaTeX. Can you elaborate on what functionality you need. Most of it is pretty straightforward to port to ConTeXt.

I used to use it to insert tags without all the crud around it. So for example a revision id directly from CVS looks like this "$Revision: 1.4$" (no quotes) and I used to use \RCSRevision which would expand to just "1.4". It's probably quote simple, but would require research (I have but merely scratched the surface of TeX/Context).

C) Is there a book on context (apart from the PDF on the main website).

There are few manuals for specific topics also, which are availabe from Prama-ade's website.

Thanks. I'll have a gander.

What other documentation exists.

There are a few MyWays, which document features that are not mentioned in the manuals. There are also articles in MAPS, Practex journal and Tugboat, but most of them are about new or advanced features.

Yes, this is how I found out about context, via an article in TUGBoat.
