Hi,

I didn't received answer by mail, so I have to answer this way.

Thanks for the help, I updated context and now it works OK.

But the problem with recompilation of format file remains. Any idea?

Ivo

If I understood your first message correctly, you are storing your tex documents within your context directory. This is a VERY bad idea because

1. mkiv checks the checksum of your context tree. When it changes, it will regenerate the format, that's what you see happening

2. in case of an update, your files could get deleted or overwritten.

I'm sorry but my English is not very good and I am not likely be able to explain things clearly. I have my files stored separately in directory C:\Users\Ivo\TeX and ConTeXt files are in directory C:\context\tex. Here is a list of environment variables related to context after running setuptex C:\context\tex.

This behavior surprised me and I don't understend it. :( ConTeXt has been installed by running first-setup.bat in C:\context directory. Thanks for any ideas.

ConTeXt (and TeX in general) can be a bit overwhelming at first if you have never used such a system. I don't know how experienced you are with computers in general, but I would suggest you read some introductory material on TeX (though I admit that I just looked around a bit, and couldn't find any simple document which explains the TeX directory structure and how to use it).

I'm in IT business more then 20 years and I started with TeX in 1992. I use TeX occasionally for various special purposes. The last time I used it 8 years ago for typesetting music. Since then much has changed. I am only starting with ConTeXt but I like its structure and capabilities. I would use it to print Go (WeiChi) diagrams. There are not a lot of manuals about TeX (LuaTeX, ConTeXt) insides, so anything that will help better understand them will please me.

Thank you for your willingness. Ivo

Thomas
