Hi Keith,
You may try to copy to your new machine the whole folder where you have
installed LMTX on your old machine, and then run
context --make
there. Indeed if this works for your current LMTX folder you'll need someone to
prepare a whole working folder of updated LMTX. As long as I have a PowerBook
with the old chip (and running MacOS 14), I may do this for you and then put a
zip file on Dropbox. However I may be too pushed to get a new M1 PowerBook in
the future.
Best regards: Otared K.
