That's interesting, because Vista does have the problem.



Using "more" is a nice trick that I hadn't seen. Simultaneous execution was a problem with using "start." I worked around it with a less subtle hack (loop waiting for output from the command above).


I'd be interested in the results, too. I may test on Vista when I get a chance. Anyone who knows that this works may want to hunt up the bug report and post the "more" workaround, with the others, to keep them all in a single spot.
Hi..on Winxp, the following commands also worked:

start /wait web2disk http://uncle-rods.blogspot.com -r 0
ebook-convert index.xhtml unclerod.epub --authors "Rod Mollise" --author-sort "Mollise, Rod" --cover "http://skywatch.brainiac.com/astroland/rodnow.jpg" --level1-toc //h:h2 --no-chapters-in-toc
