Actually, as Taco has pointed out, it is set (to .;$TEXMF/web2c). But that does not give me the guarantee that I *know* what happens. See the current texexec - it touches the path. I somehow dislike the magic in texexec. Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki and more: http://contextgarden.net ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

But what I wanted to say is that I have the feeling that I am losing more and more control of the settings. hm, you can just set anything you want; the only thing context wants is an engine subpath which is needed because the efmt ofmt fmt etc suffixes were replaced in web2c by one suffix; otherwise you can not run for instance pdfetex and aleph alongside unless using different names for formats which is even more fuzzy and tricky to maintain. I wonder apart from engine, what 'other' controls you think to loose ... since nothing really changed Hans - Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl - ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

One remark though: TEXFORMATS doesn't have to be set. - Or do you have better experience with it? It is set in the default texmnf.cnf from teTeX, so I just amended as needed. It is definately needed when there are still formats in 'bare' web2c because that would overshadow web2c/pdfetex if there was no TEXFORMATS setting. But if there are no such formats, then I suspect it makes no difference whether TEXFORMATS is set or not. Not tested though.
