Bingo! Thanks, Neil. I was on vacation, with no internet access, so I didn't get to try this until today. Yes, ConTEXT works on Ubuntu through Wine.

Thanks again,

Ralph

Your best bet is probably to install Wine and run it under emulation.
Though I'm not familiar with ConTEXT, I've just downloaded it and it
seems to work fine with Wine.

If you don't have Wine installed, you can get it via Synaptic or
directly from the shell by typing the following:

sudo apt-get install wine

Then it's just a matter of downloading the ConTEXT .exe and
right-clicking on it to select `Open with "Wine Windows Program
Loader"'; this will install it just like a Windows program.

Regards,
Neil
