Well sometimes I deserved what I got  - forgot that using /Program Files/
meant "" were essential :-((
(And I still can't get : or ; as keywords to stick into my brain either).

But

I naively expected more of these to work.

using xsltproc
 # : C:\\Program~1\\xsltproc_win32\\xsltproc.exe # NOT OK - missing "".
  : "C:\\Program Files\\xsltproc_win32\\xsltproc.exe" # Worked OK.
 # : "C:/Program Files/xsltproc_win32/xsltproc.exe" # Worked OK.
  #: "C:/Progra~1/xsltproc_win32/xsltproc.exe" # worked OK
  # actually "C:/Program Files/xsltproc_win32/xsltproc.exe" according to
Windows
  ;

# XSLT-FO processor from RenderX.com
using fop
  : # XEP batch filename
  # Note you may need to increase the Java heap size.
  # "C:/Progra~1/renderx/xep/xep.bat" # OK
  #  C:/Progra~1/renderx/xep/xep.bat # OK
  # "C:/Program Files/renderx/xep/xep.bat" # Definitely does NOT seem to
work.
   "C:\\Program Files\\renderx\\xep\\xep.bat" # NOT OK - despite "" and \\
  #'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

  : # Java executable called by xep.bat.
  # C:/PROGRA~1/Java/jre6 #OK
  # "C:/PROGRA~1/Java/jre6" # OK
  #"C:/Program files/Java/jre6" # OK
   "C:\\Program files\\Java\\jre6" # OK
  #"C:\Program files\Java\jre6" # NOT OK
  ; 

Unless I've got fat finger trouble again ;-)
