Johannes, Thanks for the info, but I eventually managed to get the system up and running last night, and am playing around with it now by testing various and sundry examples in Hans' manuals. I have to say, ConTeXt seems very, very promising for my publication projects. I lack some features and functions, but all listmembers seem to be very helpful and hopefully I could eventually get help cooking up those. Best regards, Mats Broberg On Behalf Of Johannes Werner
newinstaller, i struggled more than one day with installation of context. i'm using a different OS (redhat linux) and have a different tex-distribution on it (tetex), but maybe this hint is useful for you too: in the tetex-distro there is a file .../texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf . in this file the lines for context were commented by default - you have to uncomment them and run "fmtutil --missing" afterwards (or "fmtutil -all", if you have more time). maybe in miktex there's somthing similiar. at my first try i forget to run fmtutil, edited texexec.ini and run "texexec --make" which worked. but afterwards context had some "special features".
