Just to make sure: does that mean that something like:

# in file lilypond.bat somewhere in PATH:
C:\progs\lilypond\usr\bin\lilypond.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

doesn't work on older versions of windows (or that it reduces/badly
influences the lilypond functionality)? For simple cases it seems to
work on XP. I can perhaps try it on windows 98, but I would have to
search for windows 95 slightly longer. (I guess that lilypond.bat also
has to be placed somewhere else than lilypond.exe then.)

Thank you,
