If you want me to change my redistributions, you will have to make clear I understand what is needed and why. Most often it has just been something like add this or change size setting that. But here, I have no idea what does not work for you and in howfar configuration issues are the point to address. In cases like these, the best way is to send me a small example. If a change would require a non-secure standard config, I will not do it. Nor will I if there is a reasonable run-time (not configure time) workaround (e.g. adding -shell-escape to tex can be done runtime and is thus a better security strategy than turning it on by default). If it is possible to offer some configuration options to the user, I will investigate. G ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Gerben, David, I think the technique I documented here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Texmf.cnf ...is probably a good compromise for one or the other of you. It doesn't compromise the system as a whole, but it does compromise/add-feature for ConTeXt. adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T. Lindsay, Computing Dept.
