All, I need some help with an annoying feature that has cropped up after an update of Miktex and Context.

Help!

I never had this problem. Are you using MiKTeX's texexec, or the standalone package from www.pragma-ade.com?

can you fetch version 3.3 from the site so that we are in sync? there only time when context (when needed) does a change dir (and back) is when it generates formats so ... is there something funny in your path?

Hans, I've updated to the latest beta but my problem with texexec has not changed. C:\>texexec --version TeXExec 3.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2003 total run time : 1 seconds F:\> It is still changing the partition. My path statement again: F:\>path PATH=F:\NLIB;F:\MIKTEX\MIKTEX\BIN;C:\GS\GS7.04\BIN;C:\GS\GS7.04\LIB;F:\MIKTE X\CO NTEXT\PERLTK;C:\PERL\BIN;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\YANDY\Y ANDY TEX\;E:\MATLAB6P1\BIN\WIN32;C:\EMACS\BIN;;C:\GHOSTGUM\GSVIEW\;;F:\MSYS\1.0\M INGW \BIN;F:\IMAGINE\BIN;;E:\J2SDK1.4.0_02\BIN;E:\MATLAB6P5\BIN\WIN32;F:\SSHSEC~1 One further interesting note is this: If I change to the C: drive with C:, then run texexec --make --alone, the format files are made on the F partition, then when finished, my prompt indicates I am on the F partition. The I have to move the format files manually from F:\ to the proper place in localtexmf. At 11:26 PM 8/24/03 +0200, you wrote:
