Hi Ian,

I think something about this should be in the FAQ. I will have to add it. Unix, Linux, the GNU tools, etc. are happy with spaces in file names. However, on a command line you would need quotes around the file name to make it be seen as a single entry, rather than several. I used to get similar troubles with older version of the MS stuff, but I think they have gos their act together on this now.

I wonder why you find the problem "even if the offending entries have quotes"? Quotes usually fix it.

Regards,
Steve

I found the solution to this one is simply to move the entry for mspgcc in
your PATH to the begining of the path environment variable. Basically it
appears to fall over if there is a space in any of the path entries
preceeding the 'mspgcc/bin' entry (even if the offending entries have
quotes"")

Hope this helps someone.
Regards,
Ian
