Sorry, there has been some misunderstanding here. The problems
I wanted to point out are:
1) the missing ".exe" suffix
2) "if exist gswin32c.exe (... do something...)" will not work if
gswin32c.exe is not in the current directory. For instance, try this
in a cmd prompt:

if exist notepad.exe (echo "hello")

this only works when the current directory is C:\WINDOWS\system32.
So the above is really not equivalent to "which gswin32c.exe".

Michael.
