It uses very basic space splitting (as mentioned in the 1.7.0 thread), wouldn't it be more sensible to use something like GetOpt here? Besides that, the method to get the TMP directory on windows should also use realpath, as at least in my case the TMP environment variables are in the 8.3 format (with ~1 etc). The System class is mean to provide the functionality of unix tools in a platform independent way, especially on Windows, where these tools are not available. I think it is strange that precisely on Windows the class does not work at all. Clearly, Windows has not been used to test or develop this class. Has someone found time to have a look at my find() patch? I'm really interested in your opinion at this. Jorrit
