one last idea

I think the problem must be in stdio.dll not handling Windows XP correctly. If I run this command from stdio.dll:

cmd /c "C:\Program Files\The SWORD Project\d.bat" Gen1:1 > G:\hi.txt

the output of diatheke is not in hi.txt, but the cd command appears.

However, if I run the same command from the start>run dialog in XP, the output from diatheke DOES appear in the hi.txt file. I guess I'm outta luck until you fix the code for windows XP then?

Best reguards,
