# like this.:

# this is the result of the an echo of my run-string:

"D:\local\bin\shapelib\shptree.exe"
"D:\local\apache_htdocs\msc\mapasVCP\LA\Altinopolis\C732_Fibra II\C732.shp"

#and taking a look at the error.log of Apache, it seems a path problems to
the second part of the string....

#is there any way of avoiding this path error without modifing the path??
