+%D From the next string (which is set by the script that assembles the
+%D distribution) later on we will calculate a number that can be used
+%D by use modules to identify the feature level. Starting with version
+%D 2004.8.30 the low level interface is english. Watch out and adapt
+%D your styles an modules.

 %D Welcome to the main module. When this module is ran through
-%D \type{initex} or \type{tex -i} or \type{whatevertex} using
+%D \type{initex} or \type {tex -i} or \type {whatevertex} using
 %D \type{whatever switch}, the \CONTEXT\ format file is
 %D generated. During this process the user is asked for an
 %D interface language. Supplying \type{dutch} will generate a
-%D dutch version of \CONTEXT, supplying \type{english} will of
+%D dutch version of \CONTEXT, supplying \type {english} will of
 %D course end op in a english version.
 %D
+%D Another option is to use \TEXEXEC:
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D texexec --make [--alone] [--engine] [--all]
+%D texexec --make [--alone] [--engine] en nl ... metafun mptopdf
+%D \stoptyping

+%D More information can be found in the \TEXEXEC\ manual.

+%D When you write modules (or extensions) you should avoid
+%D conflicts with existing macro names and mechanisms. If you are
+%D coming from another macro package, don't assume that macros
+%D with the same name are doing the same! \CONTEXT\ was written
+%D from scratch and therefore similarities are often a coincidence
+%D (to some extent one always ends up with the same names for
+%D similar concepts). The underlying models for elementary subsystems
+%D that deal with encodings, languages and fonts probably differ.
+%D
+%D Time has learned that users coming from \LATEX\ should not fall
+%D into thinking that macros like \type {\protect} represent the
+%D same functionality in both systems; actually, due to the way
+%D \CONTEXT\ is set up, some of those macros do complete different
+%D things. Macro packages evolve independent of each other, which
+%D means that code written for one system will not work in another
+%D system, unless it's real generic code.
+%D
+%D An API will become available soon (keep an eye on the ConTeXt
+%D Wiki www.contextgarden.org) and or listen in to the context
+%D mailing list (ntg-context@ntg.nl). Much additional information
+%D can be found at the PRAGMA website (www.pragma-ade.com).
