I'm sure Hans has made a lot of extensions for ,,strange'' character

Agh! I've just got a solution for non-standard pdftex format usage.
Simple, but not obvious answer is that non-standard format needs
non-standard entries in texmf.cnf. After adding entry

The question is not about ConTeXt, but...
I need to generate non-standard pdf[e]tex format. To do so I prepared

\dump

Hi all!
I'm working with huge XML documents which are compiled to PDF (with ConTeXt)
and converted to HTML (with XSLT and others). These XML documents contain
references to external files (images). References are mapped to paths with
XML code; i.e. . Translating such

I've installed TeX based on tl8 which is used paralely with based on tl7.
Attached ZIP contains TeX code and two outputs with logs; tl7 and 8, which
are quite different... There are some warnings in newer one (about doubled
map entries) but shouldn't play a role here. Thanks for any hints!
