RE: [Digital BW] Re: The latest version om QuadTone RIP 2.1d, anyone tried it?

The batch file is created on the fly and deleted once the printing has
finishes. Its name is generated by the Windows GetTempFileName function so
even I could not tell you what it is. 
 
The reason for wanting to print using Pipes (which is the alternative to
Batch files) is that batch files do nasty things to extended ligatures and
accented characters such as á, æ, ø, ö, ß, etc. Mostly, it changes them into
something in the US ASCII subset. So, if you happen to use name a file with
one of these characters, you can't print it using batch files.

The QTRGui.ini file doesn't seem to have an entry for the batch file 
name to be used. From that I would infer from that is that the 
quadtoneprint.bat file is required since it is probably refered to 
directly by QTRGui.exe code. I've scanned the file and found no 
direct ASCII reference to that name so that would be my guess.

Again why do you need it to work without using batch files?
