+Some Basic information
+----------------------
+
+There are currently three interfaces available:
+
+ cont-en the english version
+ cont-de the german version
+ cont-nl the dutch version
+ cont-cz the czech version
+ cont-ro the romanian version
+ cont-it the italian version
+
+One should compile one of these (or all) into a fmt file.
+When one uses the main file,
+
+ context the undefined version
+
+TeX ask for an interface language as well as a message
+language. Here one has to specify the full name (english,
+german, dutch, etc.) or use the default (enter). The \
+savest way to update the TeX and MetaPost format files
+is to use TeXExec:
+
+texexec --make --alone en nl metafun
+
+In the TeXExec manual you can read how to generate a format
+with specific fonts and patterns.
+
+By default only the english hyphenation patterns are loaded,
+unless more are enabled in:
+
+ cont-usr the typesetting language specifications
+
+Furthermore, users can preset commands etc in the file
+
+ cont-sys a system file loaded at runtime
+
+For questions and remarks on ConTeXt, one can subscribe to
+the list:
+
+ ntg-context@ntg.nl
+
+by sending the message
+
+ subscribe ntg-context
+
+to the list server:
+
+ majordomo@ntg.nl
+
+One can find more info at:
+
+ www.pragma-ade.com
+
+or at the mirror sites mentioned there.
+
+Don't hesitate to ask questions. ConTeXt can do a lot, and
+the manuals are always a bit behind and incomplete. Also take
+a look at the files
+
+ mreadme.pdf
+ minstall.pdf
+ mtexexec.pdf
+ mtexutil.pdf
+
+The teTeX, fpTeX, and 4TeX distributions demonstrate how
+ConTeXt can be integrated in a TeX directory structure.
