Greetings all,

I'm a LaTeXer who is intrigued by ConTeXt. I'm running Mac OS 10.3, using Gerben Wierda's i-Installer, and have been receiving some error messages with my first attempts that a little searching-around haven't been clarified. Without the latest ConTeXt update from the i-Installer, for a file like:

\starttext
Hello there.
\stoptext

when run with texexec =

texexec Condy.tex

 TeXExec 5.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2004

            executable : pdfetex
                format : cont-en
             inputfile : Condy
                output : standard
             interface : en
          current mode : none
               TeX run : 1

This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.20a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.3)
 (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/natural.tcx)
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt cont-en.fmt
fmtutil: no info for format `cont-en'.
Sorry, I can't find the format `cont-en.fmt'; will try `context.fmt'.
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt context.fmt
fmtutil: no info for format `context'.
I can't find the format file `context.fmt'!

           return code : 256
              run time : 3 seconds

        total run time : 3 seconds

With the update, I get =

texexec Condy.tex

I'd appreciate any advice you can give, and perhaps I won't even have to eat crow ;)
