I just took some time and played with the Windows .BAT file for Delineate
(GUI for POTRACE & Autotrace). I got it to work by using the following in
the .bat file:

REM -------delineate.bat-----------
cd \
cd C:\{PATH}\delineate\0.5
javaw -jar .\delineate.jar .\settings\parameters-autotrace.xml
.\settings\parameters-potrace.xml
REM -------delineate.bat-----------

Note that I removed the START ... That was in the original.
I also changed the /'s to \'s

That javaw is VERY picky about paths it seems.

Barry,

I'm not familair with cygwin. I found and downloaded it - Is it a simple
'install and use', or am I going to have to learn linux to get it working?

I'm looking forward to using autotrace & potrace - I hope it all eventually
works.

Thanks for the tip.

Bill
