With the greatest respect, Siep, "sense" would indicate exactly the opposite — one would
<i>expect</i> an executable image to honour parameters , while equally expecting a batch file to ignore them. But leaving that aside, is it not time for TeX Live to cease using the ".bat" extension and starting using the ".cmd" one ? I cannot remember the
last time I created a .bat file, while I have been creating .cmd files for what seems like an eternity — as far back is the early 1990s, if I remember correctly.<br>

That would indeed help.<br>
