The part which is causing the problem is the system() call, when we need to escape the "&" under sh, but not when using the Windows shell. So perhaps the following: # If $SHELL contains "sh", it is probably UNIXish my $escapeshell = ($ENV{"SHELL"} =~ m/sh/i); ... # Then later, instead of: unless ($dosish) { if ($TeXFormatFlag == "&") { $TeXFormatFlag = "\\&" } if ($MpFormatFlag == "&") { $MpFormatFlag = "\\&" } } # We do: unless ($dosish && !$escapeshell) { if ($TeXFormatFlag == "&") { $TeXFormatFlag = "\\&" } if ($MpFormatFlag == "&") { $MpFormatFlag = "\\&" } } What do you think? -- Gregory D.
