<p>Hi,</p>
<p>When using long paths, the produced ps file is corrupted:
</p>
<p>dvips C:\Users\CHERCH~1\AppData\Local\Temp\latexdraw\latexdrawTmp155609977093670844\latexdrawTmpPic1556099770936.dvi -o C:\Users\CHERCH~1\AppData\Local\Temp\latexdraw\latexdrawTmp155609977093670844\latexdrawTmpPic1556099770936.ps</p>
<p>This command produces a ps file in which the following code is corrupted (the closing parenthesis is missing):</p>
<p>TeXDict begin 6889347 995423 1000 600 600
(C:\Users\CHERCH~1\AppData\Local\Temp\latexdraw\latexdrawTmp155609977093670844\latexdrawTmpPic155609977</p>
<p>Adding the missing parenthesis manually fixes the problem.
</p>
<p>When using short paths, it works:
</p>
<p>dvips latexdrawTmpPic1556099770936.dvi</p>
<p>I worked with dvips(k) 5.998 (on Linux).
The problem appears with dvips(k) 5.999 (on Windows 10 at least).</p>
<p>The LaTeX document I use (that I compile with latex) is simply:
</p>
