Re: spaces in file names

[Hans van der Meer <H.vanderMeer@uva.nl>]

Thanks Hans. That does the trick.

Odd by the way, that so many people apparently refrain from using  
spaces in directory and file names, because this did not surface  
earlier. It can make things a lot more readable. The habit of avoiding  
spaces is probably a holdover from old times where OS's were much more  
restrictive in filenaming. I reckon the next beta will contain this  
patch, so that I don't have to go through patching hassles when  
installing a new version.
