As I have quite some legacy LaTeX-files I have Miktex 2.7, standalone Context, and a Context minimals installation on my system. They co-exist nicely on my system: Rather than pointing my path environment variable to any of those installations permanently I use batch-files to initialize whatever system I'd like to work with. These are the batch files I use; your paths will vary: - for running Miktex: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ REM setupmiktex.bat @echo off set PATH=C:\Programme\MiKTeX\2.7\miktex\bin;%PATH% "C:\Programme\PSPad editor\PSPad.exe" ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ - for running the ConTeXt maximals (aka ConTeXt standalone): ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ REM cstart.bat @echo off usr\local\context\cscite.bat usr\local\context ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ - for running the minimals: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ REM setupminimals.bat @ECHO OFF E:\programme\contextminimal\context\tex\setuptex.bat E:\programme\contextminimal\context\tex ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ you'll also have to add a line at the bottom of setuptex.bat, under :done call c:\ruby\scite\scite.exe or whatever editor you use. > And one specific question, will the mptopdf command work in this dual > installation? I think so; at least running "mptopdf -v" from a console window invoked from the editor made mptopdf tell me there was no file called '-v' to process ;-) Cheers, Peter ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
