Just to update everyone on the status of this, the next thing on my list is to figure out the Windows build and set up the the file association in the installer. Actually, I should ask if there's anything else that I should pay attention to here, e.g. do I have to add an icon association for Windows or something like that? Is there any documentation like a wiki page on this? I looked at the README in the PC* directories and it doesn't seem to talk about the installer. Maybe it will become clearer when I get Visual Studio. Andy On 7/23/07, Paul Moore

That bit me a while back, hard enough that I thought of putting together a patch for it (probably just to stop processing the script at a NUL byte), but never did as I didn't think I could put a convincing enough case for it being *useful*.
Anyway, I'd be happy enough with the -z patch as it stands, or if someone comes up with something better, that would suit me too...
