Hallo again Tim — I have now tested my script under Windows Server 2019,
which shares a large fraction of its code-base with Windows 10, and I
cannot reproduce the "A duplicate file name exists, or the file cannot
be found" problem. Below is my amended "Do-it.cmd" with the call to
XeTeX commented out and the call to "xdvipdfmx" replaced by a call to
"copy" (I copied Hirata-san's files to my Server 2019 system, but
"xdvipdfmx" appears to assume a TeX Live environment, with which I do
not want to burden my server, and will not run without ...).
** Phil.
