This is a known problem caused either by the DOS command processor
or the JVM. It is specific to the 16bit Windows variants.
Nobody has yet published a workaround, you'll have to experiment
a bit by yourself. You can, for example, try
 java -jar bin\fop.jar nnn.fo nnn.pdf
which might work (or not).
If all else fails, get the source distribution, open
the file src\org\apache\fop\apps\CommandLineOptions.java,
kill the line throwing the exception wih the error
message above and rebuild FOP.

Newbie: Error trying to convert (standalone) the simple.fo exampl e after first installation...

Hello all,
I have donwloaded and installed FOP, i tried to convert the simple.fo file
using it like my first interaction with this tool, but i'm receiving this
follow message error:

 [ERROR]: Don't know what to do with

I have entered this lines on DOS Prompt of root FOP directory:

> FOP simple.fo simple.pdf

i tried another command...

> FOP -fo simple.fo -pdf simple.pdf

but i didn't get success...

I'm executing on Win98, in standalone mode (DOS command line).

Thanks for any help..
