A copy named fop.bat would be very useful to us. We currently have most sites deployed on fop 1.0, which names the command script on Windows as fop.bat. For Skynav fop, for our Middle Eastern sites, we are contemplating (after suitable QA) replacing fop 1.0 with Skynav fop. However, some of these sites will be on versions of our product which do assume the name of the script on Windows is fop.bat. While, we can tell users to rename fop.cmd to fop.bat, it will simplify configuration if fop ships with a fop.bat.
We thank the FOP community for a superlative technology, which allows us and our customers to do report writing at many sites around the world in a cost-effective way. Thank you to everyone who contributes to the FOP community! It is truly a noble effort!
