Thank you Hans, for your quick reply. I have a file natural.tcx in tex/texmf/web2c/natural.tcx. I do not quite understand the rest of your reply. What do you suggest me to do? I am using Miktex 2.4.1461. Regards, Robert Op Ma, 27 november, 2006 12:04 pm schreef Hans Hagen:

Dear Friends,

I am having problems with Context under Miktex. The document is processed, but nothing happens.

Instead a tmp file is created, which says the following: terminologie-Diwan.003.tmp % terminologie-Diwan.003.top \unprotect \setupsystem[\c!n=1,\c!m=1] \def\MPOSTformatswitch{-alias=metafun --undump=} \setupsystem[\c!method=2] \setupsystem[\c!type=mswin] \setupoutput[pdftex] \setupsystem[\c!random=1378] \setupsystem[inputfile=terminologie-Diwan.003.tex] \protect \endinput

D:\publicaties\artikelen\artikel-Diwan>texmfstart texexec.rb "terminologie-Diwan.003.tex" unknown file type: texmfscripts TeXExec | processing document 'terminologie-Diwan.003.tex' TeXExec | no ctx file found TeXExec | tex processing method: context TeXExec | TeX run 1 TeXExec | writing option file terminologie-Diwan.003.top TeXExec | using randomseed 1378 TeXExec | tex engine: pdfetex TeXExec | tex format: cont-en --8bit: unknown option TeXExec | runtime: 0.063

The perl and ruby versions: This is perl, v5.8.8 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread (with 33 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail) Binary build 819 [267479] provided by ActiveState http://www.ActiveState.com Built Aug 29 2006 12:42:41

ruby 1.9.0 (2005-07-22) [i386-mswin32]

Any help is much appreciated.

imo

(1) miktex's pdftex/mp should support --8bit (or tcx files) (2) and silently ignore unknown flags

the problem is that in tl 2006/7 natural.tcx is supposed to be shipped with the main tree, but i have no clue if miktex ships that as well (and supports tcx filters); the --8bit flag makes pdftex etc 8 bit clean (roundtrip)

My MikTeX installation contains a natural.tcx file. I am afraid that I do not quite grasp the rest of your reply. What do you suggest me to do?

ask christian schenk to either obey or ignore the --8bit flag 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Don't use MikTeX 2.4.

I can confirm that latest releases of ConTeXt (since the introduction of ruby-based executables) have problems with MikTeX 2.4. Do you have any chances to upgrade MikTeX to 2.5? Mojca
