I believe they're all part of the standard Ghostscript distribution; at any rate, they're in the Windows Ghostscript distribution I have installed here. The Windows scripts (gs*\lib\*.bat) are similarly vulnerable: no use of -P-, and letting the executable name be overridden by an environment variable. -- Michael Wojcik Principal Software Systems Developer, Micro Focus
