Hi Idan,

no worries: I was just guessing. I'm a Linux user, but sometimes Windows user at clients..

I thought to have seen that some Python packages install small 'bat-files in the Python Scripts folder, just to be able to call the actual python scripts.

So I was guessing that on Windows there would be a gdal_calc.bat script to call the actual gdal_calc.py.. but apparently I was wrong ;-~
