 Yes, it's still in my TODO list. Sadly, I don't have enough
 time to work on it these days :\

 What you've done so far is already a great piece of work. :) Without
 it, I wouldn't be writing my physics thesis using ConTeXt.

Thank you. Of course most of the work has actually been done by
others so far, and my only job has been that of bringing things
together :)

 Yup, I just changed a couple of things and now we have a
 \startbigcases ... \stopbigcases for this. Will upload new
 version soon.

 Oh, great! I'm really looking forward to get this new version. By the
 way, would you be so kind to include some multiline equation
 environment? Something like (or better than)

 \[
   first part of very long equation
   \eqbreak
   second part of very long equation
   \eqbreak
   third part of very long equation
 \]

You want to use the nath module: all equations are multiline:

\[ a= b + \\
   c + d + \\
   e +
\]

You may want to look at the documentation for the nath package
in LaTeX about the use of \wall and \return for alignments
within multiline equations.

 Hello Giuseppe,


 I'm having a little trouble with the cases in amsl.

 Compiling this:

 \[
   f(x) =
   \startcases
 0 \text{if $x  -\epsilon$} \\
 \frac12   \text{if $x   \epsilon$}
   \stopcases
 \]

 results in an error around the \frac.

Hello David, sorry for the delay.

The problem is caused by \frac being defined in the newmat
module as

%D Better:

\def\frac#1#2{\mathematics{\genfrac{}{}{}\donothing{#1}{#2}}}


If you comment that line, it will compile flawlessly.

Hans, why would you want to allow \frac in text mode?

 Changing it to \dfrac makes the input compile ok, but
 typesets the cases in an ugly manner with really narrow
 spacing.

(Yes.)

 Is there some way of telling startcases/stopcases to behave in display
 mode?

Yup, I just changed a couple of things and now we have a
\startbigcases ... \stopbigcases for this. Will upload new
version soon.

which I achieve at the moment by doing
\[
 \startalign
   first part of very long equation
   \hskip 1.5em
   \\ \hfill
   second part of very long equation
   \\ \hfill
   third and part of very long equation
 \stopalign
\]
But this does not work as well I wish. I'd like to substitute the  
'\hskip 1.5 em' after the first line for a '\hfill' so that it always  
be the leftmost line, but the latter does nothing at all. So I have to  
put a '\hskip' and tweak the distance by hand.

Thanks for you help,
David
