   Does "&" do anything on Windows?  What should happen then?

I know so little about MS Windows (I use GNU/Linux) that I do not
really understand the above.  Do you mean we could not make "xpdf * &"
the default because MS Windows does not understand & and hence it
would not be portable?  Does MS Windows have a notion of job control?
It must have a notion of asynchronous command since it is a windowing
system.

Sincerely,

Luc.
