Hi Bryant, Thanks a lot! I got it working with your suggestion. The exact sequence was: 1. install ConTeXt in DOS cmd 2. run setuptex.bat in DOS cmd 3. enter cygwin by running cygwin.bat 4. in cygwin prompt, run context.cmd test.tex
Our docbook->pdf/html flow was developed in unix. But I need to port it to Windows now for my colleagues. regards, shenchen On Mon, Nov 2, 2009 at 11:00 PM, Bryant Eastham < beast...@pewla.us.pewg.panasonic.com> wrote: > I am doing exactly the same thing as you want.
