Dear gang, There is a bug in the latest ConTeXt that affects aleph, particularly \pardir TRT. Needless to say this is an absolute showstopper...
Try this: =========================== \pardir TLT test \bye =========================== $>aleph test works fine, but $>texexec --tex=aleph test gives an error: =========================== This is Aleph, Version 3.141592-1.15-2.1-0.0-rc4 (Web2c 7.5.3) \write18 enabled. Copyright (c) 2002--2004 the Aleph task force entering extended mode (test.tex ConTeXt ver: 2005.03.16 fmt: 2005.3.21 int: english mes: english systems : eTeX version 201 -> too old (bugs) language : language en is active <protectionstate 0> system : cont-new loaded (c:\CONTEXT\tex\texmf-local/tex/context/base/cont-new.tex systems : beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.tex color : palette rollover is available ) system : cont-old loaded (c:\CONTEXT\tex\texmf-local/tex/context/base/cont-old.tex loading : Context Old Macros ) system : cont-fil loaded (c:\CONTEXT\tex\texmf-local/tex/context/base/cont-fil.tex loading : Context File Synonyms ) system : cont-sys loaded (c:\CONTEXT\tex\texmf-local/tex/context/user/cont-sys.tex) bodyfont : 12pt rm is loaded language : patterns en->ec:ec->1->2:2 uk->ec:ec->2->2:2 de->texnansi:tex nansi->3->2:2 de->ec:ec->4->2:2 fr->texnansi:texnansi->5->2:2 fr->ec:ec->6->2:2 es->ec:ec->7->2:2 pt->ec:ec->8->2:2 it->texnansi:texnansi->9->2:2 it->ec:ec->1 0->2:2 nl->texnansi:texnansi->11->2:2 nl->ec:ec->12->2:2 cz->il2:il2->13->2:2 c z->ec:ec->14->2:2 sk->il2:il2->15->2:2 sk->ec:ec->16->2:2 pl->pl0:pl0->17->2:2 pl->ec:ec->18->2:2 loaded specials : tex,postscript,rokicki loaded system : test.top loaded (./test.top) !

There is a complaint that : eTeX version 201 -> too old (bugs) 2. There is no aleph.ini file in mswincontext so I had to import it from \TeXLive to make the format. Also manfnt is missing in mswincontext; should not the minimal context installation also support the plain format?
