Hello, friends, I posted this message some days back to the MikTeX mailing list, but would like to repeat it here. I use MikTeX with the text editor TechnicCenter. I generally work with PDFLaTeX. I have been reading about ConTeXt, which among other things enables the use of Metapost from within the package. (I wish to use Metapost as I need to draw lots of diagrams for Euclidean geometry.) It seems that one can configure MikTeX for ConTeXt. Could any user of ConTeXt suggest how to do the configuring? I am not able to act on the tips given. I have located in "MikTeX Options" the option "cont-uk" (in the Formats tab) and have selected it; but am not sure of the next step. I would be grateful for some advice on this matter. Thanks. Sincerely, Shailesh Shirali

- there should be a texexec.ini (if not copy texexec.rme to texexec.ini) in which you have to uncomment: set TeXShell to miktex - next you need to generate formats texexec --make --alone --all (maybe without alone) now you should be able to process files with texexec --pdf somefile (more info on how to set up metapost runtime support can be found in the wiki/archives) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
