Let it be noted two things: 1) *nix can have spaces in directory names also, mkdir "My Documents" or mkdir My\ Documents should both work IME, this patch should allow *nix users who *do* put spaces in to use those directories for PEAR - its not *just* about Win32 (though, mostly it is) 2) Windows directories like "Program Files" can be shorted to the old 8.3 notation of "Progra~1" and "Apache~1", I wonder would PEAR allow these, did anyone check? I'll do it now. - Davey
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\PEAR>pear.bat config-show CONFIGURATION: ==============
PEAR executables directory     bin_dir c:\PROGRA~1\Apache~1\Apache\htdocs\PEAR
PEAR documentation directory   doc_dir c:\PROGRA~1\Apache~1\Apache\htdocs\PEAR\pear\docs
PHP extension directory        ext_dir         C:\PROGRA~1\Zend\lib\php_ext
PEAR directory                 php_dir c:\PROGRA~1\Apache~1\Apache\htdocs\PEAR\pear
PEAR Installer cache directory cache_dir C:\DOCUME~1\Davey\LOCALS~1\Temp\pear\cache
PEAR data directory            data_dir c:\PROGRA~1\Apache~1\Apache\htdocs\PEAR\pear\data
PHP CLI/CGI binary             php_bin         C:\php4\cli\php.exe
PEAR test directory            test_dir c:\PROGRA~1\Apache~1\Apache\htdocs\PEAR\pear\tests
And "pear install PEAR_Info" works just fine too. - Davey
