First, thank you Bill Dunlap, Peter Dalgaard and Max Turgeon, I edited (incompletely) the initial posting and failed to change screenr to mypackage.  However that was not the source of the problem. Windows sysadmins cannot be convinced that paths containing white space are pure evil, but that is

2019-10-01 Thread Jim Hester
