I'm still using TeXShop and its internal context (mkii) engine doesn't use those options and seems to work fine on my very simple test files.<br><br>Have you updated TeX Live either using TeX Live Utility or tlmgr since the install? There have been many updates to ConTeXt since release.<br><br>Good Luck,<br><br>Herb Schulz<br>(herbs at wideopenwest dot com)<br><br><br><br><br>----------- Please Consult the Following Before Posting -----------<br>TeX FAQ: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq">http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq</a><br>List Reminders and Etiquette: <a href="http://email.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/">http://email.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/</a><br>List Archive: <a href="http://tug.org/pipermail/macostex-archives/">http://tug.org/pipermail/macostex-archives/</a><br>TeX on Mac OS X Website: <a href="http://mactex-wiki.tug.org/">http://mactex-wiki.tug.org/</a><br>List Info: <a href="https://email.esm.psu.edu/mailman/listinfo/macosx-tex">https://email.esm.psu.edu/mailman/listinfo/macosx-tex</a><br></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
