[NTG-context] testing for broken links to external documents

Dear all, is there a simple TeX/ConTeXt way to test in a TeX file whether a link to an external document is broken so that I get an error message if not? I am using numerous links to external files (on my hard drive) and I'd like to make sure that none of the links are broken without going

Re: [NTG-context] GWTEX -- Uninstall before installing the new?

I did both, and both work methods work - I haven't tried to reuse the deprecated version though. You have to change in TeXshop the engine from /usr/local/teTeX/bin/ powerpc-apple-darwin-current to /usr/local/gwTeX/bin/powerpc-apple- darwin-current to make it work. If you modified your TeX

Re: [NTG-context] Printing ConTeXt books on Lulu? (Was: A new manual)

Not unless the copyright holders submit the material to Lulu. In short, Lulu.com is a print-on-demand publisher with no costs involved for the author: He or she uploads a 'book', specifies bindings and his/her royalties, and if someone purchases the book, it is printed and send to the person.

[NTG-context] CoNTeXt on Mac OS X with iinstaller still broken

Dear Mac-ConTeXt users (and other experts), I typically upgrade my least used Mac (my laptop) to the newest ConTeXt release first, and only go ahead with the desktop when my projects compile fine. Otherwise, I usually wait until the more proficient users have sorted things out. Now, for a

Dear all again, as a follow-up to my previous question, I think I can now ask more precisely: In Acrobat, a linked document can be treated in different ways. A 'webdocument' is typically just downloaded (and opened in Acrobat if possible). This is the behavior I get when using \from with

Thanks Willi,I mistakenly believed \goto only works within one document.My current solution is to use\goto{3DXM}[program(/test/cycloids.ODE3D)]which works in Acrobat (not in preview though, which is something I can live with)and TeXShop.Curiously enough, if I use relative file names, they still
