Hi Gaetano, I'm sorry, but you'll definitely, don't win any sympathy with me for windows compatibility. I even do not understand, why somebody should dare to use windows for any working purpose anyway. :-) I've now searched "shebang windows" and understand that you would have to invoke the commands (I rather call them neutral commands then scripts) with: php ezc-command This works even with the shebang in the file, which is simply ignored by windows. I vote to skip the ".php" extension to remind windows user that their OS is not intended for any other usage then gaming, especially not responsible development.
