There was a time when people lost work using LaTeX on MSDOS in spite of it being a batch application. Here was the deal: the syntax to include separately includable files in LaTeX is \include{filename} now sometimes people wrote \include{filename.tex} by mistake but that meant that auxiliary information about the file was written to filename.tex.aux which MSDOS abbreviated to filename.tex. Very ugly. Very unexpected. At some point of time, TeX engines were changed in order to refuse writing a file under comparable circumstances. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
