I have not installed the 3-16 mswincontext.zip yet but could you check 
this Hans (resend in case you missed it;-)?

i let my machine generate the tree while i was watching a movie the day before

So does that meant the 3-16 upload is the one or no? Also, how do I install it 
(could find no instructions...) it looks like a unix tree...

normally it isn't but currently there are three issues that make it 
painfull:
- incompatible changes in the tds (enc/map paths)
- changes in pdftex (no config, better map support)
- the transition to latin modern
- (unnoticed) changes in pattern file names

Hi, Hans
= Original Message From Hans Hagen [EMAIL PROTECTED] =

i'll upload a new minimal (beware, tex live 2005 binaries), as well as the 
big
windows zip (will take a few hours)

1. Remember that I need both aleph and pdfetex formats; can you do that?

2. After you upload, please:-) tell me exactly what I need to get things 
working. I only have high-speed access at my office (rather far from here) and 
will head there as soon as you have uploaded things. I only downloaded the 
minimal mswintex.zip; should I get the big one? Should I upgrade to the latest 
fpTeX/TeXLive as well? If so, let me know which depository you use so that I 
don't get the wrong one (yes, I'm paranoid-)

I'll do whatever it takes...

And as always,
Thnx!!!

- the transition to latin modern

I played around for quite some time with the texmf.cnf environment variables 
in both \TeXLive and \ConTeXt trees. I noticed that even when I got \TeXLive 
to search \ConTeXt first, upon compiling it still could not find certain files 
(a tds issue?), while I could never get \ConTeXt to search \TeXLive properly.

This was not helped by the fact that my July04 fpTeX comes with a corrupt 
kpathsea.pdf documentation using type3 fonts!

Yesterday was not my day...

the big mswincontext.zip

Maybe it's too late, but is it possible to include the bulk of the omega 
distribution, the parts used by Gamma (basically everything except omega.exe).

Looking forward to it
