→Additional settings (for those who use MetaFun): write18
</texcode>
* In case the file doesn't exist yet, copy the file <code>cont-sys.rme</code> (in the same folder) to <code>cont-sys.tex</code> first. <code>cont-sys.rme</code> may change every now and then, so check for major changes from time to time and update your <code>cont-sys.tex</code> accordingly.
* Create a file Enable <code>[localtexmf PATH]\miktex\config\miktex.iniwrite18</code> and add the following line to it: write18=enable''(Because of some unknown reason, <code>write18=enable</code> in <code>[localtexmf PATH]\miktex\config\miktex.ini</code> may be ignored on some computers. In that case make the change in <code>[MikTeX PATH]\miktex\config\miktex.ini</code>, but you may have to repeat this step every time you update MikTeX packages.see below)''
(<code>[MikTeX PATH]</code> and <code>[localtexmf PATH]</code> are chosen during the installation. If you don't know what they are, take a look at ''MikTeX Options -> Roots'')
set TEXSYSTEM=miktex
may help you solving some problems.
=== write18 ===
<code>write18</code> allows calling external programs from within TeX. It's not a good idea to have it enabled on a server, but for comfortable work with ConTeXt (for MetaFun or modules for R and gnuplot) you probably need it.
'''MikTeX 2.4'''
* Create a file <code>[localtexmf PATH]\miktex\config\miktex.ini</code> and add the following line to it:
write18=enable
:''(Because of some unknown reason, <code>write18=enable</code> in <code>[localtexmf PATH]\miktex\config\miktex.ini</code> may be ignored on some computers. In that case make the change in <code>[MikTeX PATH]\miktex\config\miktex.ini</code>, but you may have to repeat this step every time you update MikTeX packages.)''
'''MikTeX 2.5'''
* Each application now has it's own configuration file. The configuration settings will be documented later. Write18 can be enabled as follows:
EnableWrite18=t
:Setting the environment variable <code>MIKTEX_ENABLEWRITE18=t</code> should also work.
