I'm not sure whether that's the problem now (since the "not found" tex file is in a directory without spaces in its path); also, I have never had this problem with MiKTeX (also in C:\Program Files\...). In fact, the pdfetex included in MiKTeX works just fine while then one included in TeXLive (fpTeX) can't find the specified source file. (On the other hand, the one supplied with MiKTeX doesn't recognise the switches used by texexec... <sigh>). > I re-installed it (first hand-deleted the previous installation) and then > manually chose c:\TeXLive\ as installation path instead of the default. > > This helped tremendously. Hm... It would help with the texexec problem, of course, but that seems to be solved already (more or less). Do you think it will help with my pdfetex too? [About winedt] I'll take a look at that.

Having ConTeXt running "out of the box" (through some TeX distribution, of course) seems very useful. If I can't get it to work, I guess I'll try with an RPM or two on my Linux machine <wink>. > Good luck! Frans Thanks... -- Magnus Lie Hetland The Anygui Project http://hetland.org http://anygui.org
