I have noticed that the ConTeXt distribution contains both $TEXMF/context/config/texexec.rme and $TEXMF/scripts/context/perl/texexec.rme Are they both supposed to be used? What happens if they're not the same?

This is a FAQ. They're both unused. You must rename or copy one to texexec.ini (I prefer it in config). This handwork is left to you, that updates can't overwrite your settings. Same with cont-usr.tex Grüßlis vom Hraban! --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/

Oops, sorry. Except ... is there a list of FAQs somewhere? I've never seen it.

Yes, I knew they had to be copied. I take it, then, that texexec.ini can be in either of the above locations ... maybe anywhere accessible to kpathsea? Anyway, it's a bit confusing to have two texexec.rme files. I would suggest removing one of them from the distribution.

The reason why there are two files is that in the new tds the scripts are now in a separate branch of the tree (scripts); in order to keep some downward compatibility (also with respect to expectations) i put two copies in the tree; the one in scripts will go away next year (btw, you can use textools to move files to the new locations) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

No, there's no FAQ list. But three archives of the ML. Never mind.

Yes, kpathsea, I think so. Grüßlis vom Hraban! --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/
