Description Alex Cherepanov 2010-09-17 04:14:52 UTC

For long time our BAT files couldn't identify options reliably.
With introduction of some BAT language extensions one can check for
the leading '-' as following:

--- gs/lib/ps2pdf.bat   (revision 11725)
+++ gs/lib/ps2pdf.bat   (working copy)

Assigning to Alex -- he seems to have a handle on Windows batch files.

Comment 2 Alex Cherepanov 2010-09-25 02:12:58 UTC

This and similar patches to ps2pdf12.bat, ps2pdf13.bat, ps2pdf14.bat 
have been committed as a rev. 11743.

Other batch files don't have a single-argument form and work just fine
by counting the arguments.
