L3PAO Install Problem

I've e-mailed the author and ldraw helpdesk.  I haven't had a response yet and
due to a time constraint, I'm posting here.

The Portland State University lab uses Windows XP.  When running L3PAO, it seems
that the command line does not pass on to the DOS program.  POV-Ray launches,
but stalls because no pov file was created.

The DOS window shows the L3P options and descriptions and is stuck at a message
like "Press any key to continue".  I'd sure like to get this bug resolved during
the image build before it gets replicated onto the lab workstations.

I'd appreciate any ideas.  The image is due to be installed in the lab on Friday
09/16.

Thanks

From memory, this was done to buggy handling of long file names.

I do have an alternative to L3PAO which is (still) in development you
can try as well at:
