Thanks. If you haven't had days like that you haven't done enough
programming yet.
I've already tested
\expanded{\installprogram{\@@pbbibtex\ \jobname -->
\expanded{\installprogram{\@@pbbibtex\space\jobname
and it "works for me" with the defaults and with
\setupbibtex[database=xampl,bibtex=bibtex8]
on linux, but it will be a couple weeks before I'm near Win32 long
enough for further tests.

| is already active, but not b
\bgroup
\catcode`B=\active
\def\start...
\egroup
otherwise a 'character B' and not an 'active character B' ends up in the
definition
This may be easier:
\def\Whatever
{\defineactivecharacter B {[oeps]}}
bla bla \start \Whatever B \stop ble bla

[NTG-context] character redefinition environment
Hi list,
I want to assign Metapost graphics to single letters (in a newly defined
evironment, that take care of these assignments). The purpose is being
able to rapidly build huge tables containing lots of these symbols.
Everything works fine if I assign these graphics to non-letters, e.g.
"|", but somehow it doesn't work with normal letters.
Here is what I tried (with a simple Foo instead of Metapost graphics):
\definesymbol[foosymbol][{\tt Foo}]
\def\startmychars{%
\bgroup\catcode`\|=\active\def|{\symbol[foosymbol]}}
\def\stopmychars{\egroup}
This works with | as reassigned character without any problems. But, we
want to have normal characters in the table, no punctuation marks, etc.
Does anyone know what to do to reassign a special definition for a
letter e.g. like uppercase B or else?
I got this error:
(/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/context/base/pdfr-ec.tex)
! Undefined control sequence.
\startmychars ...up \catcode `\B=\active \defB
{\symbol[foosymbol]}
l.24 \startmychars
which seems to indicate that B is not recognized as active character in
the "\defB"?
Any hints very welcome,
Enzo.

mtxtools can create such lists using the unicode consotium glyph table,
mojca's mapping list and enco/regi files
we use mtxtools to create the tables needed for xetex (used for case

best take a look at mtxtools; if needed we can generate the definitions
; concerning speed, it will not be that slow, because tex is quite fast
on such tests (unless XeTeXcharglyph is slow due to lib access); the
biggest thing is to make sure that things don't expand in unwanted ways.

[NTG-context] question about linenotes
I'm playing with (and happy about) linenotes; I'm just running into
one small (?) problem. Here's a testfile:
\starttext
% \setuplinenumbering[location=intext,step=2]
\startlinenumbering
Long and boring text that has \linenote{note one} no other sense than
demonstrating a problem with the linenote command in ConTeXt.
\stoplinenumbering
\stoptext
Run it, then comment out the \setuplinenumbering command. Is there a
way of having linenotes displayed correctly even when the numbers are
not displayed because of the step= setting?
Thanks
Thomas

[NTG-context] Compiling the magazines
Hello everyone!I'm trying to get started with ConText. I've setup a stand alone install with perl and ruby on windows (last version). I was quite impressed with the "This way" magazine layout... and was trying to compile the example code that comes in the 000 edition.
But the result is nothing like the original: all side texts are on wrong places, body text goes through the paper margins: a mess!Maybe some margins or papersize settings that are implicit and I don't have in my environment ?
I'd be glad if somebody could give me some tips on this!The code is pasted below.Thanks in advance,JR- - - - - - -\usemodule[mag-01]\setvariables[magazine][title={Introduction},
