[NTG-context] ConTeXt and Aleph
Hi, ever so often I read mails by Giuseppe or Idris on Aleph. Now I also saw that there is a context-manual on aleph. Does this mean I can use the examples mentions there under ConTeXt? Running an alephtest.tex file ... \start \textdir TLT\relax \setups[ward] \start \textdir BLB\relax \red \setups[ward] \stop \setups[ward] \stop ... tells me that \textdir is an Undefined control sequence What is missing? When I installed ConTeXt I executed the following command lines: mv /Users/steffen/Desktop/cont-tmf.zip /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local cd /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local rm tex/context/base/* rm metapost/context/base/* unzip -a -L -o cont-tmf.zip cp /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/context/config/texexec.rme /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/context/config/texexec.ini cp /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/user/cont-sys.rme /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/context/user/cont-sys.tex sudo mktexlsr sudo fmtutil --all sudo texhash Do I have to add/change something in order to use ConTeXt and aleph? As you see I don't know where to start. Apologies if even my question are wrong!

You must make sure that aleph, a flavor of TeX like pdfeTeX, is actually available for the Mac, then create the plain and context formats for aleph. eomega --ini *plain \dump eomega --ini *cont-en texexec --make en -tex=eomega are the relevant commands. eomega _is_ aleph. If you want to do serious work with aleph u'll have to modify the texmf.cnf file as well: comment this line extra_mem_bot.context = 400 otherwise you will meet some nasty surprises!

It's even an FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=aleph, which says The Aleph project aims to build a usable version of Omega, incorporating e-TeX extensions from the NTS project. Two sets of concerns have provided impetus to the project: first, that many users need the e-TeX extensions, and they're not on the Omega development path; and second, that the Omega project is currently immersed in radical restructuring of Omega, and is not able to be particularly responsive to user requirements in the short term. In the longer term, the Aleph project hope that their work will be rendered irrelevant by the development of Omega proper. The current pre-release snapshot of Aleph resides on CTAN with the rather modest name of e-Omega.
