Hallo.

Many thanks for a fast reply.

Honestly, I'm not certain what isn't working. With my slides, it seems that
my macros are not loaded from my modules. With figures, I may not know how
to compile them.

Slides:
I created three modules many years ago: m-lect.tex, s-pre-mi.tex, and
s-pre-qq.tex. I load them in the slides to set the presentation style and
to produce several versions of the slides (slides, handouts, teacher's
notes, etc.). In these modules, I define \TitlePage macro. In mark ii,
texexec finds the macro. In mark iv, context doesn't. I ran the slides with
texexec --pdf --nomprun mic-slide01.tex; I tried context --pdf --nomprun
mic-slide01.tex. I included the modules and one slide (not the figures
included).

Figures:
I have my figures in .mp files where I include my style in figuremac.mp and
use verbatimtex ... etex. Therefore, I compile it with texexec --mptex
charts01.mp. For some reason, when I try context --mptex charts01.mp, no
figures are created. (I have many chart files like this, most with very
many relatively complex figures.) I include a sample figure with the TeX
and MP macros used.

I have similar problems with the handouts and the rest of the stuff, but if
you can hint me how to proceed, I might find the way for the rest.

(I didn't follow the progress of the ConTeXt, and now I'm stuck with the
old version of the old Ubuntu in a virtual machine. I definitely have to
upgrade my knowledge over Christmas. Hence any transition guide would be
most appreciated, too.)

Many thanks for your kind help.

Best wishes,
Michal
