Does "&" do anything on Windows? What should happen then?
I know so little about MS Windows (I use GNU/Linux) that I do not
really understand the above. Do you mean we could not make "xpdf * &"
the default because MS Windows does not understand & and hence it
would not be portable? Does MS Windows have a notion of job control?
It must have a notion of asynchronous command since it is a windowing
system.
Sincerely,
