It seems to rely on $0 with a tetex/texlive directory structure where SELFAUTOPARENT can be used. The only criticism of MiKTeX is that it is silly to distribute a broken package, but then it is up to ConTeXt users to report breakage and, ideally, supply fixes. > (But apparently there are not many MikTeX users on the list anyway. > Else more would have complained.) Don't complain, just switch to a platform/distro where ConTeXt works and use mpm (since few others provide updates with the speed and convenience of MiKTeX). I think MiKTeX should remain focusing on the packages and binaries, and rely on upstream to fix broken packages. -- George N.
