Now for questions:
1. How do I configure my system to use texmstart?
in the bin directory with texexec, rename texexec to texexec.orig, create the
2 or 3 scripts you want to use, do chmod +x runtexmf*, and decide
which names are perl (.pl) and which are ruby (.rb). Create symbolic
links: ln -s runtexmfrb texmfstart, etc. for the ruby scripts. You
can also do this for other perl scripts such as epstopdf, but be
careful, as the bin directory may contain newer versions than the
texmf trees.
2. What are some of the usual uses I should be employing of
texmfstart? How will it improve performance? How will it simplify my
work? Etc? I.e what are the advantages?
Performance for scripts like this is not much af an issue these days
-- if you want performance, buy better hardware. What is an issue is
the ability of the developers to find and fix bugs. Perl is old and
tricky. There are lots of old buggy perl versions installed.
Hopefully ruby will turn out to be more robust (lessons learned,
etc.).
The advantages to us are that you will use it and report bugs before we do.

Re: [NTG-context] Oh no! Never update in the middle of a project. I am in trouble.
And I failed to make all the changes you posted previously. After I made all of them, one error went away, now I have to attack the other enumerations in the environment file. My young helper would appreciate any words of wisdom.

Wow. Did not know about labeltexts. This goes one more step in
separating content from presentation.
well, the code in the lang-* files is pretty old (therw you can see how do deal
with languages as well; there is also left/right lable stuff, as needed for
chinese), actually, this is the oldest code ... (reminds of frustrations with
latex due to hard coded Chapter in the styles in those days)

Should I just comment out all the stopper' commands until this update circulates through G's context updater?

Now back in business.
Although what is still needed here is a way of hiding subanswers.

[NTG-context] emp.sty and metapost
All,
Not strictly a context question, but it has to do with Metapost, so
maybe someone can help.
I have a file of macros called qdftools.mp:
numeric s; s=0.2;
color gridlines; gridlines:=(s,s,s);
def openbluedot(expr pos)=
fill fullcircle scaled 4pt withcolor white;
draw fullcircle scaed 4pt withcolor blue;
enddef;
def openreddot(expr pos)=
fill fullcircle scaled 4pt withcolor white;
draw fullcircle scaed 4pt withcolor red;
enddef;
def filledreddot(expr pos)=
fill fullcircle scaled 4pt withcolor red;
draw fullcircle scaed 4pt withcolor red;
enddef;
def filledbluedot(expr pos)=
fill fullcircle scaled 4pt withcolor blue;
draw fullcircle scaed 4pt withcolor blue;
enddef;
def vtick(expr pos)=
draw ((0,-3)--(0,3)) shifted pos;
enddef;
def htick(expr pos)=
draw ((-3,0)--(3,0)) shifted pos;
enddef;
def gridfivefive =
for k=-5u step 1u until 5u:
draw (-5u,k)--(5u,k) withcolor gridlines;
draw (k,-5u)--(k,5u) withcolor gridlines;
endfor;
enddef;
def xyaxesfivefive=
drawdblarrow (-5u,0)--(5u,0);
label.rt(btex $x$ etex, (5u,0));
label.bot(btex $5$ etex, (5u,0));
drawdblarrow (0,-5u)--(0,5u);
label.top(btex $y$ etex, (0,5u));
label.lft(btex $5$ etex, (0,5u));
enddef;
endinput;
In the same directory as qdftools.mp, I have a file useemp.tex. Note
that I am using the emp package.

I have faced this problem in the past, but was never sure why it
occured or how to rectify it. Try the command
mpost --tex=latex useemp.mp
on your shell. Do you get the same error message as before (you
should). Now try,
makempx --tex=latex useemp.mp useemp.mpx
Does this create an mpx file? If it does, then atleast a workaround
for the problem is to have
\immediate\write18{makempx --tex=latex \jobname.mp \jobname.mpx}
before
\immediate\write18{mpost --tex=latex \jobname}.
If makempx fails, look at the output of
makempx --verbose --tex=latex useemp.mp useemp.mpx
What do you get?
