Yes.
But they shouldn't have to type the complete path even though with either DOSKey in pre NT or command history in NT -> XP they wouldn't necessarily have to type it often.they will know how to do that (or use Cygwin anyway?).
I will continue working on the batch file.It would be nice to get lilypond to produce PDFs, even if that means using a bat wrapper, so that we may shed some more light in this matter. I would much rather get identification of the problem (ie, use a fake LILYPOND_VERBOSE, and a fake gs.bat that prints the value of the needed environment variables that lilypond sets.)
I'll look at this.
I meant my help to be for diagnostic purposes anyway. I'm not close enough to the rest of the install, etc. process to give a complete solution. I also don't have enough access to the W98 machine.Note that versions until 2.5.28-1 (from http://lilypond.org/mingw/) used bat wrappers. It proved however, that noone could get the quoting (the double quotes) right for all flavours of windows. For that and out of space errors, we decided not to use bat wrappers anymore. We could use a guile wrapper, if need must be.
More soon, Paul
