Hmmm, I suspect you are right. My current hypothesis is that the difference
between starting gropdf separately by setting up the pipeline manually and
letting groff set up the pipeline automatically is that the spawnvp() in
pipeline.c uses microsoft's CMD.exe in some way to run the .bat which in turn
runs perl to run gropdf, by which time the automatic conversion of LF to CRLF
has been turned back on. How I can circumvent this situation is stumping me at
the moment. There may be something I can do with COMSPEC to help? Thank you
for your suggestion.
Cheers
