Arabic support for ConTeXt
Hi gang, A few of you have written to me about Arabic support for ConTeXt as well as modifying EDMAC to use RL support in Omega. It is my intention to provide some info/how-to on this in the next couple of weeks, as soon as I finish some research. In the meantime, I suggest anyone interested in this to get their hands on e-Omega 1.15 (Omega + eTeX functionality). This is the version the how-to will be based upon. It is available for fpTeX and MiKTeX; I'm not sure when a version will be available for teTeX, though Thomas Esser may cooperate with anyone willing to provide a separate patch. Best wishes Idris

Here in Hawai'i GB and TE sat together and got it running under linux so eomega is tetex ready ...

I am on Cygwin. I downloaded cont-tmp.zip(2003-7.21.22.16), and then tried texexec --make en. The command fails with the following message: [snip] ! I can't find file `prop-ini.tex`. l.265 \input prop-ini.tex [snip] Error: `pdfetex -ini -jobname=cont-en -progname=context *cont-en.ini' failed I've checked and found the referred file.

Hi,
After unzipping the cont-tmf.zip did you run mktexlsr?
