Hi all!

TEXEXEC documentation and self documented 'texexec.rme' file says that it should be copied to 'texexec.ini'. First of all; I have two 'texexec.rme' in TeX tree; first in

...TeX/context/config

the second in

...TeX/context/perltk

Files looks to be identical but and the second location has a priority. But which location is more convenient for texexec config file?

You should put 'texexec.ini' in a "local" tree, e.g., texmf-local, so it is easy to find when you upgrade, e.g., "texmf-local/context/config"

The second question is WHY I have to copy 'texexec.rme' to 'texexec.ini'? If I do so and change some settings in 'texexec.ini' and than run 'texexec --verbose', I can see that settings are still taken from 'texexec.rme'. Could You tell me what is the point in copying RME to INI and when INI file is used instead RME?

Did you run mktexlsr? What do you get from: 'kpsewhich -progname=context -format="other text files" texexec.ini'? -- George N. White III
